The Gloaming

In the gloaming oh my darling, the lights are dim and low
The quite shadows fall around us, and softly come and swiftly go

When the winds are sobbing sighing, with a gentleness well know
Will you think of me and wonder, like you did once long ago?

In the gloaming oh my darling, think not bitterly of me
Though passed away in silence, left you lonely and set you free

Though my heart was crushed with longing, what had been could never be
It was best to leave you here now, best for you, best for me

From the howling days of Autumn, to the longest days of spring
We will rise and rise together, when the new dawn draws us in
And the harshest days of winter, to the hopes that summer brings
We will rise and rise together, when the new dawn draws us in

In the gloaming oh my darling, what had been could never be
Was it best to leave you here, best for you and best for me
