Here's a quick transcription. I'm on my way out of the house in minutes, so I haven't time to check it now, so I might have made some mistakes. (I was typing directly into this post; normally I'd write in a file and check it before posting). I'll check it later if noone does it in the meantime. Mick
ISLAND REQUIEM When I'm old and weary and longing to die Carry me back to the isle o' Skye. Lay me to sleep where the tall Coolins keep Their watch o'er Isle O' Skye. Far away in this isle o' the West Only there will my spirit find rest Long did I live there and gladly I'll die Far in the Isle O' Skye Carry me slowly where lone seagulls fly Home to the sheilin' and there let me lie Lay me to sleep where the mist softly creep Over the isle O skye And where I'll go to the Isles Of the Blessed Leaving the isle that I always love best Peace will be with me, forever i'll rest Far in the Isle O' Skye
