I'm standing here

In a long row

Farewells

And a future hanging low

Waving out

In the morning grey

A burning heart

That keeps tearing me away

Morning tide

Morning tide

You're taking me

For all my life

Morning tide

Morning tide

You're sailing me away

Precious

Morning still

My wealth falls in

All around the island hills

Dying out

Across the bay

The pier runs out

And the Minch waves roll

Away

(Chorus)

I'm standing here

In a long row

Farewells

And a future hanging low

Waving out

In the morning grey

A burning heart

That keeps tearing me

Away
