Farewell My Friends

Well the sun had set and the evening shades

Were closing in the night

As I walked the roads by the last bird's call

And I saw your window light

And music drifted on the wind

A haunting melody

You shared your bread and you shared your songs

And you shared your home with me

So farewell my friends, I'm leaving soon

I'm going away for a while

Ah but I'll come back and see you all

Should it be ten thousand miles

My friends, should it be ten thousand miles

I have walked the roads and I've climbed the hills

And I've seen the oceans roll

I have made new friends and I've laughed and sung

And the music eased my soul

But time and tide will never wait

There's something calling me

There are promises I have to keep

And friends I have to see

So farewell my friends, I'm leaving soon

I'm going away for a while

Ah but I'll come back and see you all

Should it be ten thousand miles

My friends, should it be ten thousand miles

The dawn is breaking in the east

And the lark is in the sky

And the fields are wet with morning dew

But the road is white and dry

And my fiddle is snug upon my back

And so I bid adieu

I leave my thanks and I leave my thoughts

And I leave my heart with you

So farewell my friends, I'm leaving soon

I'm going away for a while

Ah but I'll come back and see you all

Should it be ten thousand miles

My friends, should it be ten thousand miles

So farewell my friends, I'm leaving soon

I'm going away for a while

Ah but I'll come back and see you all

Should it be ten thousand miles

My friends, should it be ten thousand miles
