Lyrics
Prelude
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And when the sun goes down into the sky
Together we shall sit and we shall sup
And we shall eat, and drink the heady wine
O, let us share the overflowing cup
We'll ramble on the coast, each side by side
We'll feel the sting of bracing salty air
We'll feel the moon pull at the ocean's tide
And wonder that we are together there
One day these things shall have come to pass
And then the end will come, as so it must
No longer shall we smell the summer grass
No longer shall we know each other's trust
So let us walk, and feel the cooling breeze
Before they're just forgotten memories
