Lyrics
Hesperus heavenly sodality's parting And the dead men lies shattered on the floor Drunken Silenus, sleeps in the corner Where he left you when he swept you with the oar The ghost of John Dryden is leaning on the woodworks He knows all the words but to no gain Solemnly mumbles, 'tis be too short a blessing And love, love be too long a pain And I will leave you, I will leave you I will leave you when that sunbeam hits the stream I will leave you, I will leave you I will leave you, cause this ain't no time to dream There in the dead of night a schooner is departing She has turned her back on all the world She's tied down and tired, starving and beaten But out there every sail shall be unfurled One day I will take off my St Brennan Untie him and I sink him in the sea But now I must rise and I must travel A homestead is not for you and me And I will leave you, I will leave you I will leave you when that sunbeam hits the stream I will leave you, I will leave you I will leave you, cause this ain't no time to dream And down in Jericho, oh my sweet darling A man fell down among the thieves I'll bring him oil and wine, and thirteen stories Soon, Hostis Humani Generis he will be Indeed have I done all the things they have told you Now a prison hulk lies anchored in the bay I shall be dragged back in chains to Old England Where I'll three times meet the tide at Wapping Quay And I will leave you, I will leave you I will leave you when that sunbeam hits the stream I will leave you, I will leave you I will leave you, cause this ain't no time to dream
