Wings of Time Songtext
von Peter Yarrow

The wings of time will carry me over
The wings of time will carry me through
And the wings of time will bring me my angel
The wings of love will bring me you

Sail on, sail on, sail on my Mary
Sail on, sail on ′til summer is through
At harvest time in Candiohi
I shall come back home to you


And will the willow cease his weeping?
Then will our child of love be born?
Then will the kiss of sorrows parting
Be sweeter still than ere before?

Then take my song, it is my promise
And hold it close through nights so long
Time shall not part this hearts devotion
Nor still the love that I have born

Oh lowly, lowly, whisper lowly
And lowly, lowly now be still
And sleep and dream of our tomorrow
And let my song your heart fulfill


The wings of time will carry me over
The wings of time will carry me through
And the wings of time will bring me my angel
The wings of love will bring me you.
