Rovers Farewell (Live)

Goodbye my friends! the time has come to bid a fond farewell
I hope someday to meet again, the truth to you I tell
We'll rise and leave before we fade like a flickering candle flame
For all good things come to an end, and nothing stays the same

Well the years have come and the years have gone yet it feels like yesterday
When first we met eachother and sang the night away
Through summer sun or stormy skies, sure we've laughed about it all
Those nights with friends will be the memories I recall

We've shared a laugh and a song or two
But now our time is over
We wish you all good health and joy
May kind fate guide the Rover

And thank you for the love you showed as we came rambling 'round
You've followed us most faithfully and never let us down
And when the road was hard to bear, you kept our spirits high
And thinking all your loyal hearts, it's hard to say goodbye

We've shared a laugh and a song or two
But now our time is over
We wish you all good health and joy
May kind fate guide the Rover

We'll lift a glass to them we knew no longer in this place
For while we have a breath to take, we'll not forget their face
And here's to all the merry nights when we would rant and roar
The songs of Ireland we have shared, will live forever more

We've shared a laugh and a song or two
But now our time is over
We wish you all good health and joy
May kind fate guide the Rover
We've shared a laugh and a song or two
But now our time is over
We wish you all good health and joy
May kind fate guide the Rover

Toor-a-loor-a-loora-loo
Toor-a-loor-a-lie
