Stornoway Girl Lyrics

‘Avril - what was that thing you
Said in the bar last night about neon?
(Avril) –‘Well, I think the old inlanders
See neon as a trick to twist the poetry
Out of the young'
‘that's, that's wonderful'…

Oh my love
Oh my Stornoway Girl
Oh my love
Oh my Stornoway Girl
She's the woman set the heather on fire
She is everything a man could desire

Oh my love
Oh my Stornoway Girl
Stornoway girl by the ocean
I see the strength in your life
Stornoway girl by the ocean

She knows the trick of the ride
And the truth of the tree
And the machair in summer
And the dark winter's day

Stornoway girl
