Raise a Glass in Parting Lyrics
The time will come for leaving
I know you cannot stay
But later for the grieving
You’re here with me today
I’d rather tend my garden
Than wander down the road
And so, I beg your pardon
I will not share your load
Parting is sweet sorrow
Or so the ballads say
But that is for tomorrow
When you go on your way
I’ll share with you my finest wine
And mushrooms from the glen
The last time that we two shall dine
'Til you come back again
I hope it brings you pleasure
Whatever ’tis you lack
But for me, the greatest treasure
Will be seeing you come back
So raise a glass in parting
But grant me just one boon
Although your trip’s just starting
Say it will be ending soon
I know you cannot stay
But later for the grieving
You’re here with me today
Than wander down the road
And so, I beg your pardon
I will not share your load
Or so the ballads say
But that is for tomorrow
When you go on your way
And mushrooms from the glen
The last time that we two shall dine
'Til you come back again
Whatever ’tis you lack
But for me, the greatest treasure
Will be seeing you come back
But grant me just one boon
Although your trip’s just starting
Say it will be ending soon
