Chorus So goodnight my friends, as the dawn comes pale And the eastern wind brings the threat of gales Keep a hold on hope through the darkest vale And we’ll meet further on down the road I have travelled far from this island strand From the icy waste to the burning sand Ploughed the raging sea, seen the verdant land Been at home in a place far away Many differences but much the same Though the ways are strange and have different names But a friendly face breaks a thousand chains And a smile breaks the lock on the door We have joined in song, laughed a night away Swapped our tales of woe, kept the clouds at bay In the morning clear we’ll be on our way But we’ll meet further on down the road So lets drink a health to good times gone by When our spirits soared and we touched the sky And we’ll bid farewell but not goodbye And we’ll meet further on down the road
