TRACK 10:
In The Gloaming

JONATHA'S NOTE:

This has to be the most haunting song. It's devastating to sing, but so beautiful to be inside it when it's hanging in the air. I think Ingrid and I were both getting chills during this particular performance!!
LYRICS: (Traditional)

In the gloaming, oh my darling
When the lights are soft and low
And the quiet shadows, falling,
Softly come and softly go

When the trees are sobbing faintly
With a gentle unknown woe

Will you think of me, and love me,
As you did once, long ago

In the gloaming, oh my darling
Think not bitterly of me
Though I passed away in silence
Left you lonely, set you free

For my heart was tossed with longing
What had been could never be

It was best to leave you thus, dear,
Best for you, and best for me

In the gloaming, oh my darling
When the lights are soft and low
Will you think of me, and love me
As you did once long ago
