Anna Massie song. What's the title? - She Loves Me

From: Murray MacLeod

If you go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb1fFKxLTPw you will see a selection of snippets from some of the performances at the 40th Glenfarg Folk Feast (and a wonderful weekend it was too).

At 30 seconds into the video you will see Anna Massie singing a song which I have never heard before. I have tried googling the words from the song, with no success.

Does anybody know what the song is, and who wrote it ?

TIA.

I'm pretty sure that it's a Dougie Maclean song. I'll try to find the title in my collection.
Give me a few minutes to get off the chair. ;-))

Aha. The last post was from me!

The song is She loves me(When I try) from Dougie Maclean "Real Estate" album

You are surely not suggesting that all his songs sound the same, Murray?

:-)))))

Anna and Mairearad also sang "She loves me (When I try)" on their 2015 album Best Day.

For the sake of completeness, here are the lyrics from Dougie's Website:
SHE LOVES ME

Music and Lyrics by Dougie MacLean
Published by Limetree Arts and Music (MCPS and PRS UK)

Here comes the morning cruel and clear
There is no reasonable chance that it might disappear
And here comes the evening, it's still the same
We are just passengers upon this godless, ghostly train

CHORUS
But she loves me when I try
She thinks about me when I'm gone
Oh she helps me when I can't hold on

It's another market, another sale
Another reason to believe we're ahead and cannot fail
But there's deadly dangers that we must endure
There are so many different ways, you never can be sure

CHORUS

So there's no ending to this tale
There is no destination on this long and restless rail
And here comes the morning cruel and clear
There is no reasonable chance that it might disappear

CHORUS
