Hi, just heard (again) Dougie McLean's Turning Away, sung by Mary Black - probably my favorite version of the song.

But I can't help feeling that I'd like it better if I knew what it was actually saying. I might actually want to perform it myself, but I can't, because I won't sing lyrics that I don't understand.

So, do you know what it means?
Much Obliged,
-D.
