Horo Johnny won't you come home soon The winter's coming and I'm all alone A candle's burning in my window love And the wild geese they are flying home A young man's love is something to behold First it burns and then it soon turns cold He'll whisper in the moonlight and your hand he'll hold Then he'll vanish with the morning dew Horo Johnny won't you come home soon The winter's coming and I'm all alone A candle's burning in my window love And the wild geese they are flying home He'll court you in a meadow in the summer time When first you love it's the sweetest time He'll promise you a golden ring and then one day He'll vanish with the morning with the dew Horo Johnny won't you come home soon The winter's coming and I'm all alone A candle's burning in my window love And the wild geese they are flying home You'll be waiting for his footsteps in the lonely room Listen by the window he'll be coming soon Your heart it will be breaking by the early dawn For he'll vanish with the morning dew Horo Johnny won't you come home soon The winter's coming and I'm all alone A candle's burning in my window love And the wild geese they are flying home And the wild geese they are flying home
