Luke Kelly The Night Visiting Song

Sadly lukes last perfomance, and amazing right until the end. Lyrics: I must away now, I can no longer tarry This morning’s tempest I have to cross I must be guided without a stumble Into the arms I love the most And when he came to his true love’s dwelling He knelt down gently upon a stone And through her window he’s whispered lowly Is my true love within at home? Wake up, wake up love, it is thine own true lover Wake up, wake up love, and let me in For I am tired love and oh, so weary And more than near drenched to the skin She’s raised her off her down soft pillow She’s raised her up and she’s let him in And they were locked in each others arms Until that long night was past and gone And when that long night was past and over And when the small clouds began to grow He’s taken her hand and they’ve kissed and parted Then he saddled and mounted and away did go I must away now, I can no longer tarry This morning’s tempest I have to cross I must be guided without a stumble Into the arms I love the most
