[Verse]
    Am     F             G         Em
My love I Hail you from a faraway place,
    Am     F             G         Em
The words that I lay down are painful to write.
           Am
And now I'm done,
          F             G        D   Dm
I'll be leaving to a forsaken land...
      F           G         Am
and my life will come to an end.

                    F               G            Em
I've marched with my brothers for a long, long time,
      Am       F           G          Em
we carry the hope for those Days to come.
      Am               F             G            D
But still I long the embrace of the one I call mine
                  F          G          A
That's the only thing I'll miss when I die...


[Chorus]
Dm       F             C        G
So far away from this place of mine,
Dm        F            C          G
so long overdue is a kiss to my love
A#            Dm             C        G
Feeling her skin under this roof of mine,
   A#     C       Dm
I wish I had more time...

[Verse]
  Dm           A#         C        Am
I see the old days in the ripening fields,
  Dm           A#         C        Am
the joy to be with you and become as one
              Dm               A#           C      G
But now it's gone, though I'm sure we will meet again...
          A#   C         D
In this world... or the next!


[Chorus]
Dm      F               C       G
So far away from this place of mine,
Dm      F              C         G
so long overdue is a kiss to my love...
A#           Dm               C       G
Feeling her skin under this roof of mine,
A#        C        Dm
I wish I had more time....

            C    G           A#
To be with you, I'd give it all.
Dm       C        G               A#
To grow old with you, I'd give it all
C                     Em         C             A
Fate has decided otherwise, my sister of the Light

My love I Hail you from a faraway place.

"Remember by face"
Dm           A#            C          Am
Words that I lay down are painful to write.

"Don't fear, my love"
             Dm        A#         C       G
And now I'm done, I'm entering a forsaken land...

"I will always be there"
   A#         C         D
My life will come to an end...

I wish I had more time....

Now as I stand on the battle field
Fm               G#            D#   A#
my hopes are all going to our only son...
C#          Fm         D#    A#
He shall be strong and never yield,
      C#        D#         Fm
he is what the future will bring...
