Exile
by Kieran Wade
Now the fire is burning low
And it will soon be time to go
As the night turns into dawn,
With the light I will be gone
So kiss me once and then I'll go
And say my name out soft and low
And as I turn on down the road,
Your kiss will lighten up my load
( Chorus
And al- though I never will re- turn,
In- side the hope will always burn
That we may meet in some place once again
And you and I will still be friends.
The sun is shining brightly on the mountains and the sea
The waves run white round Inish Mór
The ship lies in the harbour waiting for an evening breeze
To take us to some foreign shore )
The world we lived in now is past
And winds of change are coming fast
But I will not forget the land
Where you and I walked hand in hand
So kiss me once and say goodbye
And we'll try hard not to cry
These tumbling thoughts going through my head
Will stay forever left unsaid.
Chorus
To take us to some foreign shore (repeated)
And it will soon be time to go
As the night turns into dawn,
With the light I will be gone
So kiss me once and then I'll go
And say my name out soft and low
And as I turn on down the road,
Your kiss will lighten up my load
( Chorus
And al- though I never will re- turn,
In- side the hope will always burn
That we may meet in some place once again
And you and I will still be friends.
The sun is shining brightly on the mountains and the sea

But I will not forget the land
Where you and I walked hand in hand
So kiss me once and say goodbye
And we'll try hard not to cry
