Chayira - John Edmond
Thereâs a stretch of blue water in the heart of Victoria
Where the whistling geese and the cormorants fly
And the chapel looks down on the place where Iâve willed
I will make my last voyage whenever I die
Chorus
So carry my ashes on down from the chapel
Sail them away to Chayiraâs 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 the rhinos can wander
Itâs there on Chayira my spirit will be
Chorus
