Fare Thee Well
Journey of Love: Farewell to the Past, Embracing the Unknown
Lyrics
Fare thee well my darlin' true
Farewell to my true beloved
I'm leavin' in the hours of the morn
I'm departing early in the morning
I'm bound for the bay of Mexico
I'm heading towards the Gulf of Mexico
Or maybe the coast of Californ'
Or possibly the California coast
It's fare thee well my own true love
Goodbye to my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
We'll reunite on another occasion
It's not the leavin'
It's not the act of leaving
That's a-grievin' me
That causes sorrow
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind
But the pain of my beloved staying behind
I'll write you a letter from time to time
I'll correspond occasionally
While I ramble you can travel with me, too
As I wander, you can journey with me through my letters
With my head, my heart and my hands, my love
Using my thoughts, emotions, and actions
I'll write what I know back home to you
I'll share my experiences with you
It's fare thee well my own true love
Goodbye to my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
We'll meet again in the future
It's not the leavin'
It's not the act of leaving
That's a-grievin' me
That causes sorrow
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind
But the pain of my beloved staying behind
I'll write you of troubles and of laughter
I'll inform you about difficulties and joys
Be them somebody else's or my own
Whether they belong to others or myself
With my hands in my pocket
With my hands in my pockets
And my coat collar high
And my coat collar up
I will travel unnoticed and unknown
I'll travel discreetly and anonymously
It's fare thee well my own true love
Goodbye to my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
We'll meet again in the future
It's not the leavin'
It's not the act of leaving
That's a-grievin' me
That causes sorrow
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind
But the pain of my beloved staying behind
So, it's fare thee well my own true love
So, goodbye to my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
We'll meet again in the future
It's not the leavin'
It's not the act of leaving
That's a-grievin' me
That causes sorrow
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind
But the pain of my beloved staying behind
