long time traveller

these 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 long time travelling here below

i'm a long time travelling away from home

i'm a long time travelling 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 better friends above

i'm a long time travelling here below

i'm a long time travelling away from home

i'm a long time travelling here below

to lay this body down. i'm a long time traveling here below

i'm a long time traveling away from home. i'm a long time traveling here below

to lay this body down

to lay this body down
