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.
