Farewell, Farewell Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travellers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call
[Verse 2]
And will you never return to see

Or drink the light to be

[Verse 1]
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travellers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call
