Corryvreckan Calling

歌詞

Alone on the deck in the morning light She looks out west to where the islands lie As the ferry boat pulls away Down in the bar where the old men smoke Tell their tales and share their old men's jokes Sunlight shining through the grey She lifts her hands as if to shade her eyes And in the morning light she scan horizons She had a dream of an island home, a soft wind blowing and Corryvreckan calling, Calling, far out at sea Down in the fields where the children play, they come home just as the Light is falling, falling The children come home at close of day Born in the streets on the town's dark side, she learnt to run, learned to run and hide Run anywhere but here Other girls dreamt of being TV stars or making a break in some fast, shiny car Far Far away The old folk told her tales of peat smoke fire nights And in her dreams she sees the glistening starlight She got a job in a hotel bar A room of her own...a window to the stars Under Hebridean Skies She walks on the beach in the morning rain, and smiles and thinks of just How far she's come Sunlight dazzling her eyes And if the chance it comes I think she'll take it And after all you know I think she'll make it
