I first performed this song with Faire Winds (myself, Anne Hills, and Aoife Clancy) in 2002. It is by Alan Bell, who took a chance and booked me for Fylde Folk Festival in 2000.

lyrics

1
When first we met, complete awkward strangers
We did not know if we could be friends
How soon we’ve come for to know each other
And now I know we will meet again

Chorus
So here’s to you, and our time together
I will share with you a parting glass
And I’ll bid adieu with some smiles and laughter
Our time apart will be short and pass

2
We’ve talked of dreams and of new tomorrows
Of yesterday and its dark despair
We’ve had our share of love and sorrows
And now we part as friends who care

Chorus

3
A long, long road, well it lies before me
And fate will lead me where it will
And through the valleys and over mountains
I will not forget, but remember you still

Chorus
