Piper To The End

When I leave this world behind me, to another I will go

And if there are no pipes in heaven, I'll be goin' down below

If friends in time be severed, someday we will meet again

I'll return to leave you never, be a piper to the end

This has been a day to die for, now the day is almost done

Up above, a quiet seabird, turns to face the setting sun

Now the evening dove is callin', and all the hills are burnin' red

And before the night comes fallin', clouds are lined with golden thread

We watched the fires together, shared our quarters for a while

Walked the dusty roads together, came so many miles

This has been a day to die on, now the day is almost done

Here the pipes will lay beside me, silent with the battle drum

If friends in time be severed, someday we will meet again

I'll return to leave you never, be a piper to the end
