Words and Music (c)2015 David Burns (ASCAP) David Burns: Guitars. mandolin, lead and harmony vocals Michael Kelly: Fiddle, harmony vocals Jonathan Baer: Percussion, harmony vocals Olivier Prud'Homme: Bass Michael Eskin: Uilleann Pipe It's 6 in the morn but there's work to be done So on this fine dawning I'm up with the sun and I'm off to the sea to be stopped by no one The time's come unwoven, so I'll be a-rovin' away Away, I'm roving away I don't care if the skies be ablaze, or if they be gray Today I'm roving away, and I'll never know my destination It's 10 in the morn and I've scarcely been missed I'm feeling my home disappear in the distance and wondering if I should cease and desist for if this be folly, I'll soon know for roving away Away, I'm roving away and just where I'm going I've yet to learn; ever I'll stay Today I'm roving away, and I'll never know my destination It's 6 in the eve and I stand at the shore Waiting for some lonesome boatman to take me aboard and to ferry me over the waves and though I'm not moving, my thoughts have me roving away Away, I'm roving away I don't care if the skies be ablaze, or if they be gray Today I'm roving away, and I'll never know my destination It's 10 in the eve and I'm crossing the waves By midnight I'm so far from home that I gave it a thought that perhaps a mistake I had made But such thoughts can only bring sorrow, so I'm away Away, I'm roving away I don't care if the skies be ablaze, or if they be gray Today I'm roving away, and I'll never know my destination
