Lyrics

Ye fleeting charms of earth Farewell, your springs of joy are dry My soul now seeks another home A brighter world on high I'm a long time travelling here below I'm a long time travelling away from home I'm a long time travelling here below To lay this body down Farewell kind friends whose tender care Has long engaged my love Your fond embrace I now exchange For better friends above I'm a long time travelling here below I'm a long time travelling away from home I'm a long time travelling here below To lay this body down I'm a long time travelling here below I'm a long time travelling away from home I'm a long time travelling here below To lay this body down To lay this body down
