Mary of Skye

Mary Of Skye - Calum Kennedy

When the long shadows fall and the sun goes to rest

Behind the dark Cuillins away in the West

And it's beautiful Mary so lonely for by

Since you left me alone on the Island of Skye

I've walked by the shore when the long day is through

I hear the cows calling they're calling for you

And the sea breezes whisper your name with a sigh

Oh come home lovely Mary to the Island of Skye

If my heart were young blackbird so high in the air

I would fly to your window and sing for you there

And the sounds o my creeding would fill up the sky

Come home to me Mary and the Island of Skye

Like the waves of the ocean that break on the shore

The memory of Mary returns oer and oer

So come home to a heart that is yours til I die

Ere it break for you Mary on the Island of Skye

Ere it break for you Mary on the Island of Skye
