about

This traditional song has a haunting melody that we fell in love with, alongside its words of hope.

lyrics

Ye fleeting charms of earth, farewell, your springs of joy are dry
My soul now seeks another home, a brighter world on high.

I'm a longtime traveller here below,
I'm a longtime traveller away from Home
I'm a longtime traveller here below, to lay this body down.

Farewell, kind friends whose tender care has long engaged my love;
Your fond embrace I now exchange for a better Friend's above.

I'm a longtime traveller here below,
I'm a longtime traveller away from Home
I'm a longtime traveller here below, to lay this body down.
