FAREWELL MY LOVE
As sung by Alasdair Gillies on "The Inverness Celidh" (2008)

Farewell, my love; the time has come
For you to say farewell to me.
I leave you now in this fair land,
Where once we met so tenderly.
I bless the days we were together.
I know this parting is forever.
Remember me when you recall
The hills of Caledonia.

My dearest heart, we always knew
Before I held you close to me,
That stolen moments in your arms
Must end in tears of destiny.
So fare you well, my gentle lover.
I know you're promised to another.
We'll meet again in dreams, my love,
In dreams of Caledonia.
