Long Time Traveller Lyrics – The Wailin’ Jennys (from The English Soundtrack season 1, Episode 6 – Cherished)
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 traveling here below
I’m a long time traveling away from home
I’m a long time traveling 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…
