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
