Mary Duff - The Dark Island lyrics
Your rating:
Away to the westward, I'm longing to be Where the beauties of heaven unfold by the sea Where the sweet purple heather blooms fragrant and free On a hill-top, high above the Dark Island Oh Isle of my childhood, I'm dreaming of thee As the steamer leaves Oban, and passes Tiree Soon I'll capture the magic, that lingers for me When I'm back, once more upon, the Dark Island True gem of the Hebrides, bathed in the light Like a midsummer dawning, that follows the night How I yern for the cry, of the seagulls in flight As they circle high above the Dark Island Oh Isle of my childhood, I'm dreaming of thee As the steamer leaves Oban, and passes Tiree Soon I'll capture the magic, that lingers for me When I'm back, once more upon, the Dark Island When I'm back, once more upon, the Dark Island
