about

A song of farewells and life on the road.

lyrics

When Western winds come round and autumn leaves fall to the ground,
I’ll hear the call of the road and I’ll know I’m somewhere bound.
And I’ll head off who knows where, many miles without a care,
But I’ll hold you close to my heart, till I return again.

I’ll bid a fond farewell and drink your health anew,
And I’ll hold you close to my heart, till I return again, Aye fond farewell.

Through winter snow and hail, I’ll lean hard to the gale,
Though Icy winds will cut my soul, I’ll hold fast to the trail.
In the dark and dreary night, your smile will be my guiding light,
And I’ll hold you close to my heart, till I return again.

In the springtime of the year, when kowhai blooms with yellow tears,
You’ll hear the tui’s song again, it sings I’m somewhere near.
We’ll meet in warm embrace, as one in time and place,
And I’ll hold you close to my heart, till I depart again.
