A friend is soon going into the recording studio to record this song and I am desperately trying to find the official words for her. Regards, Paul

This is "AS I LEAVE BEHIND NEIDIN" from my memory...

HÃ¥vard

AS I LEAVE BEHIND NEIDIN (Jimmy McCarthy)

As I leave behind Neidin
It's like purple splashed on green
My soul is strangely led
To the winding hills ahead
And she plays a melody
Of winds and streams for me
Won't you remember, won't you remember
Won't you remember me?

And we wind and climb and fall
Like the greatest waltz of all
Float across the floor
Her sweet breath outside the door
And it's time that I was gone
Across the silver tear
Won't you remember, won't you remember
Won't you remember me?

As I leave behind Neidin
In the halls where we have been
Rhododendrons in her hair
In the scent of mountain air*
I still feel her spirit song
Across the silver tear
Won't you remember, won't you remember
Won't you remember me?

* Mary Black sings: "mountain-scented air."
