Sam Lakeman - The Leaving Song lyrics

Hold out your hand, love We'll figure this out. You don't need to leave And never look back. But take your own time, love But give it a chance. There's life in these fields Like there's rhythm in dance. Stay by my side, love And give it a doubt. Your brother has gone And my time's running out. The dew's on the gra** We finish the gla** The dawn's on it's way now My son leaves today [?] They whisper your name, Son Like they've put you to rest. We've kissed you and blest you, We've all done our best. Once I could swear, love I heard the wind sing It warned of this day And the cold it would bring. These northern lights shine, love Reflect on the Foyle They lead your way Back to your own [?] of [?] The dew's on the gra** We finish the gla** The dawn's on it's way now My son leaves today [?] My son leaves today Lord God help me I pray Lord God help me I pray [?] Slip out the door, love But don't say goodbye. Just take one last look At these northwestern skies.
