Colin Bass Goodbye To Albion
At the end of everything, we see a new beginning
As you hear the singing break the silence of the day
And I see you in the distance, moving slowly through the
crowd
You are going away, you are leaving
Over the sea to the islands
As we gather for the last time for the parting of the way
For those we will remember at the closing of the day
And I’ll say goodbye to Albion
The green hills in the rain
And I’ll raise my glass to everyone
I’ll never see again
Jesus, carry me across the raging sea
I pray I will find my promised land
As the old world slips away I see a distant summer
Where life’s mysteries murmer in the mind of a child
And I hear beloved voices calling me back home
In this other eden, long ago
And I’ll say goodbye to Albion
The green hills in the rain
And I’ll raise my glass to everyone
I’ll never see again
