Lyrics for Before Departure

Farewell my friends Farewell my dear ones If I was rude Forgive my weakness Goodbye my friends Goodbye to evening parties Remember me In the spring To work for your bread Soon you must leave Remember your families And look for your children I don't need much And the older I become I realize My friendships Will carry me over On a course of distance You're a cause of sorrow Friends that last Will dance With me I don't need words This, I need.
