My love, I'm gone to Canada,
And it's truly we must part,
Though the tears that lie behind your eyes,
Will surely break my heart;
And if I return to this land again,
In faith I dare not say,
For the time does fly, and feelings die,
Love fades away.... Love fades away.
For I have been untrue, dear,
And a shame stirs in my soul,
Having slandered each and every vow,
That I had sworn to hold;
Down darkened halls of confusing walls,
I led my soul astray,
Now the time does fly, with faith denied,
Love fades away.... Love fades away.
Outside the dawn is closing,
As the night goes, so must I,
So weary now with rage and tears,
Still soft my love does lie;
And I am gone down desperate roads,
From the house that I've betrayed,
Where the time does fly, and feelings die,
Love fades away.... Love fades away
My love I'm gone to Canada,
And it's truly we must part.
