From the recording Castleford - Songs of Wisdom

The Old Rover
Music & Words by Paula Gilbert
March 1, 2000

This song is part past, part present, part future, as it contained a message that would later be explored by Paula. Mediumship in Kona on the island of the Red Sunsets at which time there was no drinking of Spirits and the Spirit of her Grandfather and Father finally rested in peace in her heart..

Lyrics

The Old Rover

When I look into your eyes
I wish I was the Rover
So I could hold you close
Within my arms
Till day is nearly over.

But the Rover's days are Over and the
Rover's ways are dead.
And the Rover's found his power
And the Rover is Wed.

Still the Rover watches over,
The ways of my bed.
And the Rover watcher over,
My care-free heart and head

And The Old Rover is Wed
The Old Rover is Wed
The Rooooover is Wed
The Old Rover is Wed.

Instr.

Mirrored Lanterns burn in the twighlight
And the Sun is turnin Red
Wasted Dreams Sound in the Thunder and
The Spirits are at Rest ---- They're at Rest

And the Old Rover is Wed
The Old Rover is Wed
The Old Roooooover is Wed----
The Old Rover is Wed

Inst.

The Old Rover is Wed
The Old Rover is Wed
The Old Roooooover is Wed
The Old Rover, The Old Rover
Is Wed.

The Old Rover is Wed.
