Bid Me Adieu
Bid me adieu
Gift me rivers of tears
Give me longing
And bid me adieu
Give me heartache too
And pools of tears
Give the world these tears
To all who love
God if there's any left
Then keep that for yourself
And bid me adieu
Gift me rivers of tears
Give me longing
And bid me adieu
Almighty at this moment of separation
Let us sow the truth
Let us have pearls given in alms
And in return get longing
Now that the longing is gone
Free me from this body
Gift me rivers of tears
Give me longing
And bid me adieu
An infant when my mother passed away
A wee boy when my father left too
My lover in my youth
Born thus were these songs
Do stop now dear lord
Let me go
Gift me rivers of tears
Give me longing
And bid me adieu
