Lyrics:

As I leave behind Néidín
It's like purple splashed on green
My soul is strangely fed
Through the winding hills ahead
And she plays a melody
On wind and streams for me

Chorus:
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember me?

And we wind and climb and fall
Like the greatest waltz of all
Float across the floor
Her sweet breath outside the door
And it's time that I was gone
Cross the silver tear

(Chorus 2x)

As I leave behind Néidín
In the hall where we have been
Rhododendrons in your hair
In the mountain-scented air
I still feel her spirit song
Cross the silver tear

(Chorus 2x)

I leave behind Néidín
