lyrics

It's time to make a reckoning,
It's time to square up to the truth.
The northern light is beckoning
and I've a tingle in my tooth

For nights out in the open,
and nights are cold up there.
But if I trust to fortune,
I'll find some hearth to share

Goodnight, my friends, goodnight, my friends,
There's nothing more to say.
Farewell, my dears, sleep well, my dears,
I'm off, I'm on my way.

I'm off to seek my pleasure,
I'm off to find my cause.
And if I bag the treasure,
you'll be sad you stayed indoors.

The road is here before me,
and though the air is chill,
I have my blood to warm me,
I have these lungs to fill.

Goodbye, my friends, goodbye, my friends,
I'm off, I'm done, I'm gone.
Farewell, my dears, sleep well, my dears,
I'll meet you further on.

Goodnight, my friends, goodnight, my friends,
There's nothing more to say.
Farewell, my dears, sleep well, my dears,
I'm off, I'm on my way.

Goodbye, my friends, goodbye, my friends,
I'm off, I'm done, I'm gone.
Farewell, my dears, sleep well, my dears,
I'll meet you further on.
