Farewell

Her love had left her lonely He went with the western wind On a boat that sailed for nowhere Looking for new land. Twenty fine young warriors Went on board that day The girl was crying badly Her love had gone away. Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior May the gods be with you as brothers of the sword Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior I'll be waiting for you I'll keep you in my heart The years went by and no one Heard of the boat again The girl waited so long By the harbour until her end. She died sad and lonely The black death raged across the land Her love returned the next year A broken man until this end. Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior May the gods be with you as brothers of the sword Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior I'll be waiting for you I'll keep you in my heart When the night is dark and cloudy There's a whisper in the wind A woman singing sadly 'bout her love that had to end If you go down to the water And stay there for a while You may see the Vikings daughter A vision from the other side. Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior May the gods be with you as brothers of the sword Farewell, my love, farewell young warrior I'll be waiting for you I'll keep you in my heart I'll keep you in my heart Farewell my love
