1 BORN BESIDE THIS RIVER BOUT A HALF A MILE FROM HERE
2 WANDERED THROUGH THAT ORCHARD AND PLAYED AMONG HER TREES
1 BUT I NEVER SEEMED TO NOTICE THAT THE WATER RAN THIS CLEAR
2 BUT I NEVER HEARD THE SECRETS THAT SHE WHISPERS ON THE BREEZE
1 AND I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT COLOR GREEN SPARKLE DOWN THE GLEN
2 FOR THE ONLY SOUND ON HALLOWED GROUND IS THE SILENCE OF THE MEN
1 NOW ILL NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN
2 WHO WILL NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN
IT NEVER SHONE AS BEAUTIFUL AS HOW IT LOOKS TODAY
WE NEVER MISS THE THINGS WE LOVE TIL THEY GO AWAY
BUT I HAVE HEARD THE BUGLERS CALL
AND ITS TIME FOR ME TO LEAVE
CAUSE THERE COMES A DAY WHEN A MAN MUST SAY
I WILL DIE FOR WHAT I BELIEVE
NO ILL NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN
