Now Is the Hour (Maori Farewell Song) Lyrics

Now is the hour when we must say goodbye
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea
While you're away oh, then, remember me
When you return you'll find me waiting hereSunset glow fades in the west
Night o'er the valley is creeping
Birds cuddle down in their nest
Soon all the world will be sleepingNow is the hour when we must goodbye
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea
While you're away oh, then, remember me
When you return you'll find me waiting here
