Wings of Time

The wings of time will carry me over
The wings of time will carry me through
And the wings of time will bring me my angel
The wings of love will bring me you
Sail on, sail on
Sail on my Mary
Sail on, sail on
'Til summer is through
At harvest time in Kandiyohi
I shall come back home to you
And will the willow cease his weeping?
Then will our child of love be born?
Then will the kiss of sorrow’s parting
Be sweeter still than e’er before?
Then take my song, it is my promise
And hold it close through nights so long
Time shall not part this heart’s devotion
Nor still the love that I have borne
Oh, lowly, lowly
Whisper lowly
And lowly, lowly
Now be still
And sleep and dream of our tomorrow
And let my song your heart fulfill
The wings of time will carry me over
The wings of time will carry me through
And the wings of time will bring me my angel
The wings of love will bring me you
