Eternity Songtext

von Dougie MacLean

She loves me, she loves me not ? where
Can a simple island boy begin?

This Highland pride is all I've got

But in the darkness it means everything

It makes me one with the tide

It makes me strong when I'm burning inside

CHORUS
Standing here on Cadderley
Between the burn and the turning sea

I gaze across at these golden hills

I'm looking all the way to eternity

I stand naked I'm the native one ? I like
To feel the wind across my face

I like to dream but maybe I should run

In case our tracks get covered and we

Leave no trace

No trace of where we have come

No trace of songs we can hold for out

Young

CHORUS

I will sow this seed again
I will work this field and know it's
Never-ending

I'll lose a son to the German wars ?
We'll lose the land he was fighting for

Lose our language to greed and gain ?

All washed away by a southern rain

Washed until we can't see

What our destiny meant us to be

CHORUS
