~EILIDH~ ~HELEN~

The way is long to island glen and shieling
The climb is steep o'er heather, crag and moor
But soft the tear of longing, Eilidh darling
For memories kiss in Laggan by the shore.

Oh give to me the words of simple loving
You softly murmured on the heather lea
Oh give to me the hope of swift returning
To island home across the western sea

The way is long to island glen and shieling
The climb is steep o'er heather, crag and moor
But soft the tear of longing, Eilidh darling
For memories kiss in Laggan by the shore.

Our hearts song sighs like wind across the machair
Our thought like tumbling wavelets on the sand
Like helpless ships we drift in lonely waters
And shadows hide the outline of the land

The way is long to island glen and shieling
The climb is steep o'er heather, crag and moor
But soft the tear of longing, Eilidh darling
For memories kiss in Laggan by the shore.

Your hand in mine and promise to be waiting
In sea-girt Isle where loving vows were made
Your heart will ever guide my spirit sailing
To Tir nan Og where love can never fade

The way is long to island glen and shieling
The climb is steep o'er heather, crag and moor
But soft the tear of longing, Eilidh darling
For memories kiss in Laggan by the shore.
