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, 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, whisperoly 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.
