Lyrics

[00:01.89] Home no more home to me, whither must I wander
[00:09.07] Hunger my driver, I go where I must
[00:16.80] Cold blows the winter wind over hill and heather:
[00:28.09] Thick drives the rain and my roof is in the dust
[00:38.90] Loved of wise men was the shade of my roof-tree
[00:46.27] The true word of welcome was spoken in the door -
[00:56.06] Dear days of old with the faces in the firelight
[01:05.67] Kind folks of old, you come again no more
[01:20.97] Spring shall come, come again, calling up the moorfowl
[01:28.33] Spring shall bring the sun and the rain, bring the bees and flowers;
[01:35.63] Red shall the heather bloom over hill and valley
[01:46.61] Soft flow the stream through the even-flowing hours
[01:57.41] Fair the day shine as it shone on my childhood
[02:04.96] Fair shine the day on the house with open door
[02:14.19] Birds come and cry there and twitter in the chimney
[02:25.61] But I go for ever and come again no more
