Показать описание
From the album Sonny Don't Go Away - A Tribute to Ron Hynes
Produced by Alan Doyle and Cory Tetford
Available October 20, 2023.

From Tim Baker about this song: "I chose "Leaving on the Evening Tide" firstly because it's such a great song. It's everything you want a Ron Hynes song to be - it's personal, local, clever, catchy, and it's somehow heartbreaking and tough and rousing at the same time. And for me, it's true. I've spent my whole adult life leaving, saying goodbye, going off in vans and planes for work and school and tour. Me and my entire generation of Newfoundlanders. Also, it's my mother’s favourite Ron song."
Lyrics:
I am leaving on the evening tide,
Now Mother don't go crying.
For my own tears are hard enough to hide,
And won't survive sad parting.
For I am bound away to America.
No, I can't delay, no, my mind won't change.
Let your young man say goodbye, before your boy begins to cry,
I am leaving on the evening tide. I am leaving on the evening tide.
Woh-ooh-woh, oh, Woh-ooh-woh, oh, oh, Oh-oh, oh, oh,
Woh-ooh-oh, Woh, Who
Look here old man, I've done all I can,
I can't rise up your burden.
For the land is done, and your course is run,
Mine is barely begun.
So, I am bound away, and I know what you'll say.
You'll curse the day that you gave me my name.
And with your heart so betrayed with cruelty and pride.
But I am leaving on the evening tide. I am leaving on the evening tide.
Woh-ooh-woh, oh, Woh-ooh-woh, oh, oh, Oh-oh, oh, oh,
Woh-ooh-oh, Woh, Woh
I am leaving on the evening tide,
Make no mistake, my darling.
And were I to gaze once more into your eyes,
I would still, be in your arms by morning.
So, I am bound away, before the break of day,
This note explains what I could never say,
Please don't wait for me, forget the tears we cried,
I am leaving on the evening tide, I am leaving on the evening tide.
Woh-ooh-woh, oh, Woh-ooh-woh, oh, oh, Oh-oh, oh, oh,
Woh-ooh, oh,
Woh-ooh-woh, oh, Woh-ooh-woh, oh, oh, Oh-oh, oh, oh,
Woh-ooh, oh, oh, oh,
I am leaving on the evening tide.
