The Island Songtext

von Skipinnish

Summer time long years ago
I always will remember
Just a boy who didnt know
That those days would never die
Oh I recall the island girl
Her heart was still unbroken
And still i hear the pipers skerral
In the summer island sky

Will ye dance and return to the island of the young
Will ye dance untill the dawn until the rising of the sun
Will ye dance and return to the island of the young
Will ye dance untill the dawn until the rising of the sun

Bluest eyes theres ever been
Like sunshine on the ocean
Sweetest smile i've ever seen
And her black (?) hair
And the golden Hebrides
We danced until the morning
And felt the warm southern breeze
In the summer island air

Will ye dance and return to the island of the young
Will ye dance untill the dawn until the rising of the sun
Will ye dance and return to the island of the young
Will ye dance untill the dawn until the rising of the sun

I've walked this road for many years
And wisdoms often failed me
Looking back now through the tears
Those days will never die
Oh and when we're old and grey
Our hearts too often broken
We'll see again those summer days
And the summer island air

Will ye dance and return to the island of the young
Will ye dance untill the dawn until the rising of the sun
Will ye dance and return to the island of the young
Will ye dance untill the dawn until the rising of the sun
Will ye dance and return to the island of the young
Will ye dance untill the dawn until the rising of the sun
