Now is the time when we must go...the landlord rings the parting bell but we'll be back to sing again

lyrics

Parting

Now is the hour when we must go
And leave our hearts in the fading glow
Like the waves retreating from the shore
And the snow that melts on mountain and moor
We know that this will come again
but we cannot fathom where or when
As the seconds fly and the minutes pass
We fear this time could be the last

But for every night there is the dawn
The sun coming up, the new-made morn
So many songs and tales to tell
So many ways to make things well
For every goodbye is another hello
We dream of next meetings when we go
The quicker we leave the sooner return
And that’s the best lesson we can learn.

And cause we don’t know what’s to come
Let’s live the moment while we may
The clouds roll in, the storm surge waits
But we will make it through another day
So here’s the way to say farewell
We sense the sun through the driving rain
The landlord rings the closing bell
But we’ll be back to sing again
