When I leave this world behind me
|
To another I will go
|
If there are no pipes in heaven
|
I'll be going down below
|
|
If friends in time be severed
|
Someday we will meet again
|
I'll return to leave you never
|
Be a piper to the end
|
|
This has been a day to die for
|
Now the day has almost gone
|
Up above a choir of seabirds
|
Turns to face the setting sun
|
|
Now the evening dawn is calling
|
And all the hills are burning red
|
And before the night comes falling
|
Clouds are lined with golden thread
|
|
We watched the fires together
|
Shared our quarters for a while
|
Walked the dusty roads together
|
Came so many miles
|
|
This has been a day to die on
|
Now the day is almost done
|
Here the pipes will lay beside me
|
Silent will the battle drum
|
|
If friends in time be severed
|
Someday here we will meet again
|
I return to leave you never
|
Be a piper to the end
|
