lyrics

Bound for the wild
Set out from your home
Away from every sadness
And toil you have known

Where did you go old man?
Where did you go old man?

The owl as she flies,
Closes here eyes.
A tear for the mortal
All bound to die.

In the haunted hollow
Nine-pins in their hands
Drink of the liquor,
Drink while you can

Your lover is dead
And the wolves took your land

Where have you been so long, old man?
Where have you been so long, old man?

Old man, beard long and white
Sad to say you've been away for more than a night
Old man, sadness in your eyes
Sad to say you've been away for more than a night

The owl as she flies
Closes her eyes
A tear for the mortal,
All bound to die.
