The Misty Isle Lyrics

Although my head has greyed

With forgetfulness and sadness,

And the sun of my fifty years

Has darkened under the clouds;

My thoughts are filled

With a great desire,

To see the Isle of Skye

The elements and the mist.

It is more than forty years

Since I left you willingly,

And I put down my roots

In the middle of the city;

And although I married a fisherman

Who filled my house with wealth,

You are forever in my mind

And I long to be in your shelter.

But who has ears,Capercaillie - The Misty Isle - http://motolyrics.com/capercaillie/the-misty-isle-lyrics.html

Or a heart which beats with life

Who will not sing this song with me

About the hardship which has befallen us?

The thousands who were cleared

Deprived of their belongings and their rights,

The desires of their hearts and their thoughts

Are on the "Gre;en Isle of the Mist".

Now remember your hardship,

And keep your banner flying;

For the wheel (of change) will not go round for you

Without strength and hardness of fist;

Your cattle will be in their folds,

And every farmer will be happy -

And the English would be ousted

From the "Gre;en Isle of the Mist".
