Now is the hour (Maori farewell song) Songtext / Lyric

Now is the hour
When we must say goodbye
Soon you'll be sailing
Far across the sea

While you're away
Oh, then remember me
When you return
You'll find me waiting here

Sunset glow fades in the west
Night over the valley is creeping
Birds cuddle down in their nest
Soon all the world will be sleeping

Now is the hour
When we must say goodbye
Soon you'll be sailing
Far across the sea

While you're away
Oh, then remember me
When you return
You'll find me waiting here
