Rovers Farewell |
Goodbye my friends! |
the time has come to bid a fond farewell |
I hope someday to meet again, the truth to you I tell |
We’ll rise and leave before we fade like a flickering candle flame |
For all good things come to an end, and nothing stays the same |
Well the years have come and the years have gone yet it feels like yesterday |
When first we met eachother and sang the night away |
Through summer sun or stormy skies, sure we’ve laughed about it all |
Those nights with friends will be the memories I recall |
We’ve shared a laugh and a song or two |
But now our time is over |
We wish you all good health and joy |
May kind fate guide the Rover |
And thank you for the love you showed as we came rambling 'round |
You’ve followed us most faithfully and never let us down |
And when the road was hard to bear, you kept our spirits high |
And thinking all your loyal hearts, it’s hard to say goodbye |
We’ve shared a laugh and a song or two |
But now our time is over |
We wish you all good health and joy |
May kind fate guide the Rover |
We’ll lift a glass to them we knew no longer in this place |
For while we have a breath to take, we’ll not forget their face |
And here’s to all the merry nights when we would rant and roar |
The songs of Ireland we have shared, will live forever more |
We’ve shared a laugh and a song or two |
But now our time is over |
We wish you all good health and joy |
May kind fate guide the Rover |
We’ve shared a laugh and a song or two |
But now our time is over |
We wish you all good health and joy |
May kind fate guide the Rover |
