My friend, my love
I've got to leave you now
To go to the town where I was born
My friend, oh, my love,
I've got to leave you now,
to got back to
the town where I was born
To where my mother and my father wait
for me to come back home
to them
To where my mother and my father wait
for me to come back home, to them
And I know
that it will break my heart.
Oh, I know
that it will break my heart.
I'll have to go over the mountains
From where I came to live with you, my dear
But my heart will be happy
And my legs will fail
And all the valleys will be filled with my tears
And all that's left now is the tiny bird you gave to me
to lead my way back home
And all that I could give was just my heart
and a kiss
and the tears that I cried on your shoulder
All that's left now is the tiny bird you gave to me
to lead my way back home
And all that I could give was just my heart
And a kiss.
And the tears that I cried on your shoulder.
