The Black Winds Lyrics - Singles - Helldorado

The liner is waiting and once again I'm leaving 

For a far off land where I'll constantly be grieving 

But not for the sake of the absentee mountain 

But for the sake of that girl I met by the fountain 

So fare thee well, so long my own true love 

As time goes by, the faithless days grow longer 

As the nights slowly pass, my ache for thee grows stronger 

Stronger than the black winds on the dark and raging main 

Stronger than the whiskey I drink for to ease my pain 

So fare thee well, so long my own true love 

I've been wounded and worn out and both my knees have been broken 

I've been shot at and beaten but not a word of complaint I have spoken 

For there's nothing that hurts like the sufferin' of being away from thee 

When thou are on the mountain and I'm on the dark rolling sea 

So fare thee well, so long my own true love
