08 Dec 02 - 11:54 PM (#843679) Subject: Lyr Req: The Goodnight Song From: JennieG I have the CD "No one stands alone" by Blue Murder...Norma Waterson, Martin Carthy, Eliza Carthy, et al....wonderful singing. I would like to get all the words to The Goodnight Song, and chords would be a bonus. The chorus starts: So goodnight my friends as the dawn comes pale And the eastern winds bring the threat of gales Keep a hold on hope through the darkest vale (veil?) And we'll meet further on down the road. Cheers, and thank you, JennieG |

10 Dec 02 - 06:11 AM (#844398) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Goodnight Song From: JennieG Breezy, I bought the CD from a bloke named Garry who has a music shop in the Blue Mountains just west of Sydney with the wonderful name of Stairway to Kevin (the shop, not the mountains!) Last time I went there I could hear glorious singing as I walked up the stairs so I bought the only other copy of the CD. I will be on holidays soon so will have more time to get the words down. The CD is in the car player at the moment so I can listen on my way to work and sessions..I'm not sessioning tonight, it's pouring rain out there, wonderful rain, hopefully the bushfires are out now. Cheers JennieG |

23 Apr 03 - 01:41 PM (#938638) Subject: Lyr Add: GOODNIGHT SONG From: Wolfgang I've copied and pasted this from Reinhard Zierke's Watersons site (Blue Murder: No one stands alone). I'm sure Reinhard is grateful if someone corrects the last tiny unclear bits in his transcription. Wolfgang GOODNIGHT SONG (Jim Boyes) Chorus: So goodnight my friends as the dawn comes pale And the Eastern wind brings the threat of gales Keep a hold on hope through the darkest veil And we'll meet further on down the road I have traveled far from this island strand From the icy waste to the burning sand Ploughed the raging sea, seen the verdant land Been at home in a place far away Chorus Many different sirs(?) bought(?) much the same Though the ways are strange and have different names And a friendly face breaks a thousand chains And a smile breaks the lock on the door Chorus We have joined in song, laughed a night away Swapped out tales of woe, kept the clouds at bay In the morning clear will be on our way But we'll meet further on down the road Chorus So let's drink a health to good times gone by When our spirits soared and we touched the sky And we'll bid farewell but not goodbye And we'll meet further on down the road Chorus: So goodnight my friends as the dawn comes pale And the Eastern wind brings the threat of gales |:Keep a hold on hope through the darkest veil And we'll meet further on down the road:| |
