The Road to Dunmoor


I was walking the road to Dunmoor, one evening as often I'd done,
And my heart being heavy as stone, I was thinking 'bout times that were gone;
When we walked arm in arm to the shore and watched the waves roll to the sea,
Never thinking that there'd be a time they'd be rolling between you and me.

There's many a time I have turned as I sit all alone on the quay,
And I watched as you waved me goodbye, and I felt my heart breaking in me.
If I were a prince or a king, had money or treasure in store,
I'd travel the whole world wide and not rest, till I had found you once more.

There's many a moment I'd wait for the letters you promised to send,
And I'd count out the hours in each day till we'd both be united again.
They say that in time love grows cold, and it fades like the morning dew,
But time won't alter my mind, for I know that I can't forget you.

I've money enough for one glass, but maybe my credit will hold,
In memories I'm as rich as a king, but that can't warm my heart when I'm cold.
So we'll drink to the times that are past and days when we walked on the shore,
And to you, I will raise my glass, for I know that I'll ne'er see you more.



    Farewell, dear one...............
