  1. The Goodbye

From the recording Celtic Tales

Lyrics

After three long years,
I yearn to return,
To my beloved Ireland

Once a wanderer
Seeking
Now I rule with you
By my side

I made a promise
A promise to return I must keep
For I long to see
My father, friends and family
I so miss my Homeland

Niamh:
My heart is heavy, my love, as you prepare to depart
Your longing for home I can see is true in your heart
This longing you feel cannot be left unsatisfied
But I’ll stay here, thinking of you until you return to me
Return to me
Go on, my beloved, bring peace to your restless heart

Oisin:
I can’t wait to be home, to be in the sky, riding on horses of might
But though I must go,
I want to know
My love for you
Makes leaving so hard
But knowing I’ll return
Will pull me through darkest of nights 

Niamh:
Go on, beloved, bring peace to your restless heart
May your journey take you quickly home and back to the start
But I’ll stay here, thinking of you until you return to me
I’ll never forget the love and warmth that you’ve always shown
return to me

Bridge
Niamh & Oisin: 
Wherever you may be, I know we’ll never be ever apart
This is my promise that I’ll keep deep within my heart
 
Niamh:
Go on, beloved, bring peace to your restless heart
May your journey take you quickly home and back to the start
But I’ll stay here, thinking of you until you return to me
