We Parted in the Gloaming


In the Gloaming, oh my Darling

Did we dance beside the River?

In the Gloaming, oh my Darling,

It seemed to last forever.

 

In the Gloaming, my Darling

How was I to know?

In the Gloaming, my Darling

Would say goodbye and go.

 

The Gloaming, my Darling

Dear to me forever,

The Gloaming, my Darling,

In the woods beside the River.

 

The Gloaming, Darling,

For my grief did not show,

The Gloaming, Darling,

Hid well my tears of woe.

 

The Gloaming, my Darling,

Oh, but not here anymore!

The Gloaming, my Darling

Through my heart that tore

 

In the Gloaming, my Darling

Kissed me and turned to go,

In the Gloaming, my Darling,

Tears mingled in River’s flow

 

In the Gloaming, oh my Darling

I will wait for you by the river,

In the Gloaming, oh my Darling,

I shall await you there forever.
