Islands Lament (reinhören)

The wind is howling from the sea
And waves flush down the coast
The taste of salt is on my lips
I feel the highland ghost

It sounds like voices in my ear
I listen what they say
They tell me bout forgotten years
As Maggie went away.

Let her go, let her go
To the evil and whiskey and darkness and pain
Let her go

Ill maybe never understand
Why she brought tears to me
I gave her all I got to give
She wanted to be free.

She said:This dark and rainy land
Is not enough for me
I want to feel the heart of life
And not my history

And so goodbye dear Maggie-o
Be careful in this hell
Find freedom in your heart tonight
Good bye, I wish you well!

The sheeps are bleating in the night
No reason for to cry
I love this rain and wind and sea
Forever Island Skye.
