Pale in the distance
Stood fast-fading Avalon
Perched on the lonely
And sundering sea
There the waves reached out
And there the mist gathered
And soon as I saw
It was taken from me
But I will make you stay, somehow
I will find a way
Nevermore slip away
Evermore remain
For as long as I carry your name
I watched the sun dip
Below the green fields
And the flowers all sleeping
In bright Tir na nOg
Even the stars will fall
Someday the clarion
Call of the night will come
Finding them gone
But I will make you stay, somehow
I will find a way
Nevermore slip away
Evermore remain
For as long as I carry your name
All love is fleeting
The white wings are beating
To carry the last
Of its promise from me
All life is fading
And memory is changing
But time cannot steal
What is already free
And I will keep you here with me
I have found a way
Nevermore slip away
Evermore remain
For as long as I carry your name
Nevermore slip away
Evermore remain
For as long as I carry your name
