I'm standing here
In a long row
Farewells
And a future hanging low
Wave out
In the morning grey
A burning heart
That keeps tearing me away
Oh, morning tide
Morning tide
You're taking me
For all my life
Oh, morning tide
Morning tide
You're sailing me away.
Precious
Morning still
My wealth falls in
All around the island hills
Dying out
Across the bay
The pier runs out
And the Minch waves roll
Away
Oh, morning tide
Morning tide
You're taking me
For all my life
Oh, morning tide
Morning tide
You're sailing me away.
I'm standing here
In a long row
Farewells
And a future hanging low
Waving out
In the morning grey
A burning heart
That keeps tearing me
Away
Oh, morning tide
Morning tide
You're taking me
For all my life
Oh, morning tide
Morning tide
You're sailing me away.
Oh, morning tide
Morning tide
You're taking me
For all my life
Oh, morning tide
Morning tide
You're sailing me away.
