about

Written by Matthew Young

lyrics

The rain it drives the rover from the road where he belongs
Into the warmth of a public house, he'll trade shelter for a song
His fingers glide upon the strings, his voice so light and fair
And in that moment magic fills the air
But the sun it drives home through the clouds, sends the traveller on his way
And as he wanders to the door, he turns to all to say

We've walked these miles together, we can see our journey's end
But there is nothing that this parting breaks that our greetings cannot mend
So just put your arms around me, and embrace me as a friend
For it's not goodbye, but until we meet again

A woman waits upon the docks to greet her sailor boy
He crests the gangway of the ship, and spies his pride and joy
His life on land begins apace, as though he was ne'er away
But he knows in his heart that he can never stay
And as she walks him to the quay, he sees the tears within her eye
But before the wind it fills the sails, he whispers his reply

We've walked these miles together, we can see our journey's end
But there is nothing that this parting breaks that our greetings cannot mend
So just put your arms around me, and embrace me as a friend
For it's not goodbye, but until we meet again

I've been a constant rambler from the day that I was born
And I have come to you with windburned skin, my bootsoles tired and worn
We've shared this path a while now, you have been my faithful friend
But we must branch off before our journey's end
We will clasp our hands, and say farewell, we'll go our separate way
But with joyous heart I'll await the time, when we gather back someday

We've walked these miles together, we can see our journey's end
But there is nothing that this parting breaks that our greetings cannot mend
So just put your arms around me, and embrace me as a friend
For it's not goodbye, but until we meet again

No it's not goodbye, but until we meet again
And we will meet again
