I packed my bags
when the grass was green
Crossed the big water,
chased a dream
But a heavy road only points away
Leaving twice
just to find the day
And the wind still carries my name
(He
is gone) Yeah, they sing it when the shadows fall
(He is gone) To the valley
where the rivers run
There is a village
on a stony hill
They talk of me,
I can hear them still
Though I am miles from the chapel door
My heavy boots
won't walk that floor
And the wind still carries my name (Oh,
he is gone)
Yeah, they sing it when the shadows fall (He is gone,
he is gone)
To the valley where the rivers run
(He is gone)
On the long road home...
