Arrival


Sing, sing, sing the song they sang with us
When they sailed away
Bring, bring, bring them back again to these
Lonely shores one day

We’ll be here awaiting their arrival
How that moment’s gonna shine
May they ring then in our hearts
The jubilant bells of “Auld Lang Syne”
Sing, sing, sing the song of sirens if that is what it takes
Bring, bring, bring them back again to each
Lonely heart that aches

I’ll be first to know of you arrival
I’ll be first to pour the wine
May they ring then, in our hearts
The jubilant bells of “Auld Lang Syne”

I’ll be first to know of you arrival
I’ll be first to pour the wine
May they ring then, in our hearts
The jubilant bells of “Auld Lang Syne”

Sing, sing, sing a song of sadness that they are so long gone
Bring, bring, bring a ray of hope
And the courage to go on

We’ll be here awaiting their arrival
How that moment’s gonna shine
May they ring then in our hearts
The jubilant bells of “Auld Lang Syne”
