Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone with a bit of a better ear for Scottish accents could help me on Archie Fisher's Bonnie Border Lass from Windward Away? I've managed to work out most of the lyrics, but a few little parts are giving me trouble: ~~ I watched and waited by the door, of many's the village hall To see you swirl across the floor, while I stood next the wall, No great Scots grey nor grenadier in courage could surpass My (? ? ?) wi' my bonnie border lass Though fleet of foot all partners part, (?) Through the years you've danced your heart, (? love's will?) The fairest flower will fade until she shuns the looking glass But I hold the scented petals still, of my bonnie border lass I ken not (where?) you rest your head at the dying of the day Humble cot or feather bed, or deep below the clay I only know though my dreams of (? ?) have passed That the face that through the firelight gleams is my bonnie border lass And that bright land beyond light shore where time has ceased to be And lovers share forevermore each other's company I'll search amidst the throng for you and when I hold you fast Then I will sing this song for you, my bonnie border lass Until that day I long for you, my bonnie border lass ~~ Thanks for any help! Not that I'll ever be able to play like Archie, but it might be fun to sing walking through the woods.
