I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I hea-rd a sigh
As the snow-flakes co-ver
my-y fa-llen bro-thers
I will say this la-st good-bye
Night is now fall-ing
So ends this day
The road is now call-ing
And I must a-way
Ov-er hill and und-er tree
through lands were ne-ver light has shone
By sil-ver streams that run down to the sea
Un-der cloud be-neath the stars
Ov-er snow and win-ters morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the ro-ad then takes me
I can-not te-ll
We came all this way but now comes the day
to bid you fare-well
Ma-ny pla-ces I have been
Ma-ny sor-rows I have seen
But I don't re-gret
Nor will I for-get all who took the ro-ad with me
Night is now fall-ing
so ends this day
The road is now call-ing and I-i-i must a-way
Ov-er hill and und-er tree
through lands where ne-ver light has shone
By sil-ver streams that run down to the sea
To these mem-'ries I will hold
with your bless-ing I will go
to turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the ro-ad then takes me
I can-not tell
We came all this way but now comes the day
to bid you fare-well
I bid you all a ver-y fond fare-well
