I'll lose a son to the German wars - We'll lose the land he was fighting for, Lose our language to greed and gain, All washed away by a southern rain, Washed until we can't see What our own destiny meant us to be. Here's another beautiful song from Dougie Maclean: ETERNITY Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean. Published by Limetree Arts and Music She loves me, she loves me not – Where can a simple island boy begin? This Highland pride is all I've got But in the darkness it means everything. It makes me one with the tide, It makes me strong when I'm burning inside. CHORUS: Standing here on Cadderley Between the burn and the turning sea, I gaze across at these golden hills. I'm looking all the way to eternity, All the way to eternity. I stand naked, I'm the native one – I like to feel the wind across my face. I like to dream but maybe I should run In case our tracks get covered and we leave no trace, No trace of where we have come, No trace of song we can hold for our young. (CHORUS) Dougie Maclean sings "Eternity" (The lyrics I posted were found at DougieMacLean.com but edited very slightly to match the lyrics as Dougie sings them in the video I linked to. |
