THe song expresses sentiments shared by many in the East Neuk of Fife fishing villages and remembers those who are in distant places Vers 1 & Choruse The wind that sweeps the desert sand, The wind that storms the sea, The wind that whispers 'roon my love, The same wind blows on me, V2 My love has travelled far and lang, Oh how can he leave me, I'm broken herted here my lane. And weary him to see. …. Chorus V3 And I miss him here beside me, I miss his dark, dark ee' Withoot his touch, withoot his love, I doot I'm like to dee, …. Chorus V4 In the cauld o' oor waulkrife nicht, When the sky is clear and free, The moon and stars that shine on him, Are shinin' doon on me. …. Chorus |
