As I Leave Behind Neidín - Mary Black

«As I leave behind Néidín

It’s like purple splashed on green

My soul is strangely fed

Through the winding hills ahead

And she plays a melody

On wind and streams for me

Won’t you remember

Won’t you remember

Won’t you remember me

Won’t you remember

Won’t you remember

Won’t you remember me

And we wind and climb and fall

Like the greatest waltz of all

Float across the floor

Her sweet breath outside the door

And it’s time that I was gone

Cross the silver tear

As I leave behind Néidín

In the hall where we have been

Rhododendrons in her hair

In the mountain scented air

I still feel her spirit song

Cross the silver tear
