Alone again
Cold is the night
Has love lost its charm
Sky and stars capture me
As night grows old
A million strides minus you
I will find my way
A bleak expanse
The midnight sky
Radiating fireflies
Cloud the air
Of segmented nightmares
Unclear visions of
Beauty's gradual
Beauty’s gradual declining
Fleeting Fantasy
Am I senselessly
Dreaming senselessly
Am I dreaming?
A million strides minus you
I will find my way
Fare Thee Well
Beauty is fleeting
This is all I know
Of sincerity from you
A million strides minus you
Fare thee well my bright star
I watched your taillights blaze into nothingness
But you were long gone before I ever got to you
Before you blazed past this address
And now I think of having loved and having lost
You never know what it's like to never love
Who can say what's better and my heart's become the cost?
A mere token of a brighter jewel sent from above
Fare thee well my bright star
The vanity of youth the color of your eyes
And maybe if I'd fanned the blazing fire of your day-to-day
Or if I'd been older I'd been wise
But too thick the heat of those long summer evenings
For a cool evening I began to yearn
But you could only feed upon the things which feed a fire
Waiting to see if I would burn
Fare thee well my bright star
It was a brief brilliant miracle dive
That which I looked up to and I clung to for dear life
Had to burn itself up just to make itself alive
And I caught you then in your moment of glory
Your last dramatic scene against a night sky stage
With a memory so clear that it's as if you're still before me
My once in a lifetime star of an age
So fare thee well my bright star
Last night the tongues of fire circled me around
And this strange season of pain will come to pass
Fare thee well, I’m leavin’
I won’t be back ‘til summer rains are gone
And winter snows have come
Don’t worry where I’m goin’
Every town is just the same
Big cities are like people
The only difference is their name
Fare thee well, I’m leavin’
I won’t be back ‘til summer rains are gone
And winter snows have come
Fare thee well, I’m leavin’
I won’t be back ‘til summer rains are gone
And winter snows have come
But soon you’ll hear me callin’
When autumn fills the air
And amber leaves are fallin’
Just look and I’ll be there
Fare thee well, I’m leavin’
I won’t be back ‘til summer rains are gone
And winter snows have come
Oh, fare thee well, I must be gone
And leave you for a while.
If ever I go I will return
If I go ten thousand miles.
If I go
If I go
If I go ten thousand miles.
Ten thousand miles it is so far
To leave me here alone
While I may lie lament and cry
And you'll not hear my moan.
And you
No, you
And you'll not hear my moan.
The crow that is so black, my love,
Will change its colour white.
If I ever should prove false to thee
The day will turn to night.
Oh the day
Yes, the day
Oh the day will turn to night.
The rivers never will run dry
Or the rocks melt with the sun.
I'll never prove false to the boy I love
Till all these things be done.
Till all
Till all
Till all these things be done.
No more vengeance, no more pain*
I know your soul bleeds again
I know I've lost the game this time
Because your fear is mine...
Somewhere between night and day
I witness your light fading away
That look in your eyes is trying to reach me
While the demons tear you away
Please... come back... again
I'm lost... without you
Please come back into the light
We'll embrace your soul tonight
We can still make things right
All grief will fade away
No more vengeane no more pain
All hate is quiet again
And as my soul yearns for peace
Hold on steady and strong,
Here's the dawn coming on won't be long,
Then the sun will come shining through,
To show me the place I once new.
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well and adieu,
Fare thee well,
With this song I'll be gone,
Fare thee well.
The old man's here and he's fine,
He has come here from years down the line,
He has come to bring peace to all times for the few,
He has come to bring life to the new.
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well and adieu,
Fare thee well,
With this song I'll be gone,
Fare thee well.
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well and adieu,
Fare thee well,
With this song I'll be gone,
Fare thee well.
Hold on steady and strong,
Here's the dawn coming on won't be long,
Oh its easy to stand in the light with pain,
In the light I will ever remain.
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well and adieu,
Fare thee well,
With this song I'll be gone,
Fare thee well.
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well and adieu,
Fare thee well,
With this song I'll be gone,
Fare thee well.
Fare Thee Well
(traditional)
You told me on the phone
That you don't have no man at all
Fare thee well
Babe fare thee well
You just told me on the phone
That you don't have no man at all
But you got more men than
A two-ton trucking home
You got more men than
A two-ton trucking home
Come tell me to my face
You got another guy in my place
Fare thee well
Come on tell me to my face
Another guys standing in place
Goodbye Baby I'm going away
Goodbye Baby I'm going away
Get you nightshirt
And Mama don't forget your gown
Fare thee well
Get your night
Im not tired but I feel like laying round
Im not so tired, but I feel like laying round
Say Fare thee well
What are you gonna do
When your trouble gets like mine
Fare thee well
Well what are you gonna do
When your trouble gets like mine
Take me a pick and spade
And dig down in your mind
Get a pick and spade
And dig down in your mind, your mind
Fare thee well
Goodbye baby I'm leaving
Ain't coming back again
Fare thee well
I'm leaving
Aint comin back again
It's your last chance
To shake it up with me
It's your last chance
Got a girl
Who's long and tall
She moves her body
Like a cannon ball
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well
If I'd listen
What my father said
Wouldn't have such confusion
In my aching head
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well
One day soon
And it won't be long
Someone will call my name
And I'll be gone
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well
All last night
In a drizzling rain
All around my heart
Was an aching pain
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well
If I had wings
Like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river
To the one I love
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well
Fare thee well, oh honey
If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river just to see
The woman that I love
Fare thee well oh my honey
I say fare thee well
When I woke up this morning
It was drizzling rain all around my heart
Oh there was an aching pain
Fare thee well oh my honey, I say fare thee well
Now when you wore your apron low
You couldn't keep me
No you couldn't keep me from around your door
Fare thee well oh my honey, I say fare thee well
Now you wear your apron high
You say you never, oh you never you
Scarcely ever see me passing by
Fare thee well oh my honey I say fare thee well
Goodbye woman I know I done you wrong
Fare Thee Well
