Good night. Good Bye!

This is a song for medium voice and 10-string guitar (can be arranged for 6-string) with text from The Chimes, a short story by Charles Dickens. It is a song for the New Year, in which the old year says good bye. "Good night. Good bye! Put your hand in mine, and tell me you’ll forget me from this hour, and try to think the end of me was here…. There’ll be a Fire to-night, There’ll be Fires this winter-time, to light the dark nights, East, West, North and South. When you see the distant sky red, they’ll be blazing. When you see the distant sky red, think of me no more; or, if you do, remember what a Hell was lighted up inside of me, and think you see its flames reflected in the clouds. Good night, Good bye!"
