Far Away Lyrics

1. Where is now the merry party
I remember long ago?
Laughing 'round the Christmas fires,
Brighten'd by the ruddy glow,
Or in summer's balmy evenings,
In the field, upon the hay?
They have all dispers'd and wander'd
Far away, Far away;
They have all dispers'd and wander'd
Far away, Far away.

2. Some have gone to lands far distant,
And with strangers made their home;
Some upon the world of waters
All their lives are forc'd to roam;
Some are gone from us forever,
Longer here they might not stay:
They have reach'd a fairer region
Far away, Far away,
They have reach'd a fairer region,
Far away, Far away.

3. There are still some few remaining,
Who remind us of the past,
But they change as all things change here,
Nothing in this world can last:
Years roll on and pass forever,
What is coming, who can say?.
Ere this closes, many may be
Far away, Far away;
Ere this closes, many may be
Far away, Far away.
