Chorus
Come away, come away
To the town in the valley
Where the people are friendly
And I feel so at home
In the morning when I walk through the mist up the hill
It is sunny and warm and the air is so still
I look down on the village and I secretly smile
For I'll be with my friends in a little while
[Chorus]
I am called to the mountains, I am called to the sea
And I walk on the glacier, it is calling to me
The sheep bells are ringing and the mist is coming on
I remember my time, it will shortly be gone.
[Chorus]
Last chorus
Time to go, time to go
From this town in the valley
I will think of you fondly
When I come to my home
