Chayira Songtext
von John Edmond

There′s a stretch of blue water in the heart of Victoria
Where the whistling geese and the cormorants fly
And a chapel looks down on the place where I've willed
I should make my last voyage whenever I die

So I carry my ashes on down from the chapel
Sail them away to Chayira′s fair isle
Scatter them over the rocks of Chayira
And let them blow free
In the breezes of Kyle
Chayira, Chayira, Chayira


And the mountains stand fast in the clouds and the thunder
And look to the plains where the eland are free
Where the hippo can guffaw and rhino can wander
And there on Chayira my spirit shall be

So I carry my ashes on down from the chapel
Sail them away to Chayira's fair isle
Scatter them over the rocks of Chayira
And let them blow free
In the breezes of Kyle
Chayira, Chayira, Chayira
Chayira, Chayira, Chayira
