ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE
(Dave Van Ronk)

When first I met you years ago, in another time and place,
The thought came to my mind I'd never seen a kinder face,
Nor warmer smile, nor gentler laugh, nor eyes so full of light.
I'd be a fool if I didn't fall in love with you that night.

We tramped around the world, my dear, our fortune was to roam.
And each place I have been with you, that place has been my home.
But as I wonder on alone with no place to abide,
I'll be content for I was sent your wanderings by my side.

Love that blossoms in the night can't stand the test of time.
It comes and goes it ebbs and flows, no reason reach nor rhyme.
But as each day becomes another day, each year another year,
I'd trade a year in heaven for a day with you, my dear.

The miles flow on and I am gone, to a wild and empty land,
Where time is like an empty room and space an empty hand;
And the things we did and the jokes we made are just echoes in the waste;
But we'll meet again where those hills are green, in another time and place.
Yes, we'll meet again where those hills are green, in another time and place.

    Ae Fond Kiss (Robert Burns)

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!
Ae farewell, and then forever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and goans I'll wage thee.

Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,
While the star of hope she leaves him ?
Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me,
Dark despair around benights me.

I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy:
Nae thing could resist my Nancy!
For to see her was to love her
Love but her, and love for ever.

Had we never lov'd sae kindly,
Had we never lov'd sae blindly,
Never met, never parted,
We would ne'er been broken-hearted.

Fare-thee-well, my first and fairest!
Fare-thee-well, my best and dearest!
Thine be ilka joy and treasure,
Peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure!

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!
Ae farewell, alas, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
