Farewell to Stromness
Springtime lovers, warmed with kisses,
Garlanded with blossoms hung.
If you promise not to leave me
We will stay forever young.
Daisy chains in summer meadows
Buttercups of sunshine
If you tell me that you love me
You will be forever mine.
Misty autumn tears are falling
Broken pledges trip your tongue
If you leave me and deceive me
Then I'll stay forever young
Now I'm older, yes, and wiser
All my songs to you are sung
Still I'll keep you in my memory
Where you'll stay forever young.
Where you'll stay forever young.
Garlanded with blossoms hung.
If you promise not to leave me
We will stay forever young.
Daisy chains in summer meadows
Buttercups of sunshine
If you tell me that you love me
You will be forever mine.
Misty autumn tears are falling
Broken pledges trip your tongue
If you leave me and deceive me
Then I'll stay forever young
Now I'm older, yes, and wiser
All my songs to you are sung
Still I'll keep you in my memory
Where you'll stay forever young.
Where you'll stay forever young.
