      Sad am I without thee
      When I'm lonely dear white heart
      Black the night or wild the sea
      By love's light my foot finds
      The old pathway to thee
      Vair me oro van o

      Vair me oru o ho
      Sad am I without thee

    I wondered when the tears would come...I've loved The Seekers' version of this beautiful song since childhood (mid-60s) and, although being very low since hearing the news of Judith's death (doubtless like the rest of her legion of fans), hadn't actually shed a tear. Oh dear! It's the cruel irony of her death that stings so much. That a woman who never smoked, drank alcohol and changed her diet completely to attempt to negate the symptoms of Bronciectasis and whose breath control whilst singing was second to none should succumb to the disease ultimately is just so unfair.

    My all time favourite 'The Seekers' song, featuring the unmistakably dulcet tones of the legendary (and now sadly missed) Judith Durham on lead vocals. What a huge, unique and natural talent she had and what a terrible loss to this world her untimely death was.
    This song was never issued as a single anywhere and was only ever released as an album track, but what an unforgettable performance of a truly beautiful song.
    It's how I choose to remember her. Judith was very special and I'll love her until the end of time itself.

      Dear Judith, where ever you go my thoughts go with you.
      For such beauty, both physical and spiritual, is a treasure beyond measure.
      I listen as an Angel is singing because she is one.

    Judith Durham, Karen Carpenter and Hayley Westenra, 3 incredible voices and all unique. Have to say Judith is my most favorite (of the 3)

    I learned this song as a small child and have not heard it again since then! What a delight to hear Judith's rendition. :)

    I learned this folk-song when I was in primary school.
    I never forgot it, and was delighted to find Judith Durham performing it in such excellent style. :)

    A Scottish Love Song
    Vair me o, ro van o
    Vair me o, ro van ee
    Vair me o, o ru o ho
    Sad am I without thee
    When I'm lonely, dear white heart
    Black the night or wild the sea
    By love's light my foot finds
    The old pathway to thee.
    Thou'rt the music of my heart
    Harp of joy, o cruit mo chridh
    Moon of guidance by night
    Strength and light thou'rt to me
