Ten Thousand Miles Lyrics

Altan Ten Thousand Miles

Fare you well, my own true love
Farewell for a while
I am going away but I'll be back
If I go ten thousand miles

Ten thousand miles, my own true love
Ten thousand miles or more
And the rocks may melt and the seas may burn
If I no more return

Oh, don't you see yon lonesome dove
Sitting on yon ivy tree
He is weeping for her own true love
As I shall weep for mine

Oh, come back, my own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend all on this earth
You've been a friend to me
