W:To the sea, to the sea, where the tides gently falling
W:West away, west away, carry me home
W:I must follow the voice of my love softly calling
W:Blow ye winds westerly, westerly blow
W:I followed my star to all lands near and far,
W:West away, west away, carry me home
W:To the land of the sun where the sweet waters flow
W:Blow ye winds westerly, westerly blow
W:
W:I'll soon bid farewell to this land I know well
W:West away, West away, carry me home
W:For the nights are so cold and the days they grow old
W:Blow ye winds westerly, westerly blow
W:My days have grown weary, yet your love is near me
W:West away, west away, carry me home
W:To the green hills that bore me where she's waiting for me
W:Blow ye winds westerly, westerly blow

Song lyrics are a relatively new feature in ABC, and there's not yet much online ABC with lyrics. The best way I've found for locating lyrics is to use one of the big search sites. Google supplies a nice search widget. This does a general search, so include terms like lyrics or song or words to find song lyrics.
