Little Jenny Lyn

Little Jenny Lyn, you ought to know
That the road you’re on is hard and slow
It is long, but every valley deep and river wide
Has another side, little Jenny Lyn
The yellow flowers that are in your hair
Will dry and blow away into the air
Do not cry. Everything that's lost unto the wind
Will be made new again, little Jenny Lyn
What do I tell you, little Jenny Lyn, about the world I’m gonna leave you in
‘Cause I know if I tell you your heart will begin to die inside your skin
They will tell you that the heart of love
Is written in the stars above
That's a lie. It's beyond the sky and your supply
And it will never die, little Jenny Lyn
What do I tell you, little Jenny Lyn, about the world I’m gonna leave you in
‘Cause I know if I tell you your eyes will begin to lose the light within
What do I tell you, little Jenny Lyn, about the world I’m gonna leave you in
All the things that go missing outside and within will all be new again
I am floating in the eventide
That flows into the other side.
I will fly, I will fly away. I must fly
But we don't say goodbye, little Jenny Lyn
We don’t say goodbye, little Jenny Lyn
