leaving on the evening tide - ron hynes lyrics

Loading...

i am leaving on the evening tide
now, mother, don’t go crying
for my own tears are hard enough to hide
and won’t survive sad parting

for i am bound away to americay
no, i can’t delay, no, my mind won’t change
so let your young man say goodbye
before your boy begins to cry
i am leaving on the evening tide
i am leaving on the evening tide

look here, old man, i’ve done all i can
i can’t rise up your burden
for the land is done and your course is run
mine is barely begun

so i am bound away, and i know what you’ll say
you’ll curse the day that you gave me my name
and with your heart so betrayed with cruelty and pride
but i am leaving on the evening tide
i am leaving on the evening tide

i am leaving on the evening tide
make no mistake my darlin’
and were i to gaze once more into your eyes
i would still be in your arms by morning
so i am bound away before the break of day
this note explains what i could never say:
please don’t wait for me, forget the tears we’ve cried
i am leaving on the evening tide
i am leaving on the evening tide

i am leaving on the evening tide
