The time has come To leave this shore No more will I find my way And those I leave behind me now Will soon take my place I've struggled long With shame's great load And shouldered my share of pain To feel the caress Of the long black veil I've worked, but not in vain I'm bound to go beyond this shore In Glory I will be placed Goodbye, my loves I'll not forget Your sweet familiar grace I'm bound to go beyond this shore In Glory I will be placed Goodbye, my loves I'll not forget To share this sweet embrace
