Don’t leave me love, don’t leave me love, don’t leave me all alone,
But I see now that you’re already gone,
The cold winter winds have come take you away,
And left me here all alone within this land so grey.
(chorus)
Like to a newborn child, a lullaby we sing,
Hope is born anew on the first shoots of spring,
When winter passes by and all seems dead,
Hope is born anew on the first shoots of spring.
A darkness love, a darkness love has come over me,
The light is dim, the night so bleak, I can hardly see,
Now all alone I hope and pray for the dawn,
Till first I see the gentle rays of the rising sun.
(chorus)
A journey love, a journey love, I have made,
Through Samhain’s March I dared to cross unto Beltaine,
The dying time has left me so bitter cold,
I journey now, I journey now, into the Spring!
(chorus)
(chorus)
