Think I'll go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
I got some friends that I could go working for
Still I wish you'd change your mind if I asked you one more time
But we've been through this a hundred times or more

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change
Come what may
If the good times are all gone
The I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

If I get there before the snow flies and if things are looking good
You could meet me if I send you down the fare
But by then it would be winter
Not too much for you to do
And those winds sure can get cold way out there

The good times are all gone
So I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

Still I wish you'd change your mind
If I asked you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times or more

 

The blue sky grows dark now
You're gone, you're gone
The good times have gone with you

You're gone
No use in me wishing, you're far, far away
Far away, away, gone from me

Our love knew two summers
But now you're gone
The days pass to winter
You're gone

Yet often, I've wished that time would stand still
Time would stand still, still
You're gone from me

Two summers, two winters
And the time between
Yes, those were the good years
The years of gold and green

Two summers, two winters
And the time between
Yes, those were the good years
The years of gold and green

The warm winds grow cold now
You're gone, you're gone
My love couldn't hold you
You're gone

You were wild as the wind, and born to be free
Born to be free, free
And gone from me
And gone from me
