"I'm going away at eventide. Across the wide and the rolling sea. I bid you stay, stay here by my side, And share a last farewell with me.
Through snow clad mountains, proud and tall, Or a thousand miles cross the burning sands, Our last farewell, then will I recall, When I'm alone in a far off land.
A wandring song is all I know, Yet I love you more, more than words can tell. I hear the call, and I'm bound to go. I leave you now, with a last farewell. I leave you now with a last farewell."
The Last Farewell - New Christy Minstrels

Finally finished this massive commission for Martin, his inspiration came from these lyrics.
