Where Have You Gone?

Where have you gone, my darling girl?
So far away from me
Over mountains, across the world
Far beyond the sea

To spend your days with other men
To see the sights alone
While here I wait and think of you
Wishing you safely home

Where have you gone, my darling maid?
To a land of tapas and wine
In a city, many countries away
In another time

To travel museums, churches, and squares
To learn a foreign land
Navigating your way through the alien
Whether small or grand

Where have you gone, my darling lass?
As they say, 'across the pond'
Next to an isle, and capitol city
As you journey on

To learn your trade amongst foreigners
To see from another view
While here I wait, and most wistfully
I shall wait for you
