Carol Holdstock sang this lovely song.

Pass to me the empty glass
"there is wisdom in our time"

Pass to me the empty glass;
I will flow it over.
Past and present friends may talk,
Laugh and sing together
I'll not forget your smiling face,
No-one else can take your place,
I will sing those songs for you
Upon the road again

Pass a glass filled to the brim;
We'll drink your health together
Think nothing of the rising sun,
We'll walk this way forever
There is wisdom in our time
Surely we will always rhyme
I will sing those songs for you
Upon the road again

How warm those cold and wintry nights
We would sing together
How could I have known it then,
That we would part forever?
I may run and I may hide,
But memories I can't deny
I will sing those songs for you
Upon the road again

Too much pleasure, too much pain
Everyone is feeling
We'll reach out and touch again
Music made for healing
And if at times I seem to stray,
It looks as though I've lost my way,
I will sing those songs for you
Upon the road again.

This is from memory and I'm not sure I ha the order right, but I think those are all the pieces! A beautiful song.

Is this a different song from The Parting Glass? What is the tune?
