Far Away - Lyrics - Paddy Goes To Holyhead

Far away the river flows forever on The sun goes down and the waves roll back the tide Yesterday is done and my time has come Far away I′m on the run All is done that may be done, I stand across the main I′ll bet all my money there′s no way back again A chance as good as any, I′m glad for what I′ve done I stand across the water far away I′m on the run [chorus:] Far away the river flows forever on The sun goes down and the waves roll back the tide Yesterday is done and my time has come Far away I′m on the run Far away the river flows forever on The sun goes down and the waves roll back the tide Yesterday is done and my time has come Far away I′m on the run I rose up right and early and the lights are dim and low The breeze could tell you my tales while all the rivers flow The good time I′ve had plenty in this race that I have run I stand across the water far away I′m on the run The breath of air is howling catch the waves as they roll out Come sing a song of freedom, come sing it clear and loud A long long time to travel since this journey had begun I stand across the water far away I′m on the run [chorus]
