we are messengers - the parting glass lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
i’m not a perfect man
not even a good man
but i’m not the sum of my mistakes
or the sum of all the good things i’ve done
the truth lies somewhere between the two
but i’m a man who has been loved well
both by god and by his family
and i’m a grateful man
so friends, walk slow, go easy
and love well

[verse 1]
of all the money that i had
i spent it in good company
and all the harm i ever did
alas, it was to none but me
and all i’ve done for want of wit
to memory now, i can’t recall
so fill to me the parting glass
good night, and joy be with you all

[verse 2]
of all the comrades that i had
they’rе sorry for my going away
and all the sweethearts that i had
they’d wish mе one more day to stay
but since it fell into my lot
that i should rise and you should not
i’ll gently rise and softly call
“goodnight, and joy be with you all”
[refrain]
i’ll gently rise and softly call
“goodnight, and joy be with you all”
