As I Leave Behind Néidín

Words and Music by Jimmy McCarthy





Performed by Tommy Fleming

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

Won't you remember
Won't you remember
Won't you remember me
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
Across the silver tear

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