"a cold mist at dusk
but it falls down unnoticed
by the dead and the dying
on Drumossy Moor our highlanders felled
by Lord Cumberland's thunder
and Bonny Prince driven on
far from the moor

return to Loch Moy
and the lassie who loves you
return to Loch Moy
and may God speed your way"

.... and I don't remember it after that ... something about forgeting all about the battle and restarting their lives ...

there's a chorus that says

"All you've endured in my arms will be cured
the battle is lost now return from the fray ..."
etc etc ... I wish I could remember more.

it's a pretty song.

here's a link to a sample. Click "Listen Now" for the song, Return to Loch Moy."

I don't have the CD anymore. You can probably find the whole MP3 on-line somewhere.
