Voice of My Island.
From Gaberlunzie's Album, Highland Lines. Written by Menzies and Paul
[Verse 1]
Sad is my heart as I stand on the shore
Thinking of friends who will see me no more
Watching the waves as they thunder and roar
And sing with the voice of my island
[Chorus]
Mull of my heart, my island my home
How cruel the hand that has forced us to roam
Farewell to Ben More, to the bracken and burn
No more I'll return to my island
[Verse 2]
Bunessan's bold beauty to history clings
While Fionnphort guard fair Iona of kings
O'er the high rocks of Gribun the peregrine wings
And sings with the voice of my island
[Chorus]
Mull of my heart, my island my home
How cruel the hand that has forced us to roam
Farewell to Ben More, to the bracken and burn
No more I'll return to my island
[Verse 3]
From Dervaig to Salen, where friendships abound
Let mighty Ben More guard the peace that I found
Where the Forsa's dark waters pour down to the sound
And sing with the voice of my island
[Chorus]
Mull of my heart, my island my home
How cruel the hand that has forced us to roam
Farewell to Ben More, to the bracken and burn
No more I'll return to my island
[Verse 4]
But now I stand silent on Calgary Bay
The mighty ships waiting their anchor to weigh
We sail for the west-land at break of the day
Far away from the voice of my island
[Chorus]
Mull of my heart, my island my home
How cruel the hand that has forced us to roam
Farewell to Ben More, to the bracken and burn
No more I'll return to my island
[Verse 5]
Years have gone by cause they never stand still
The wild winds have crumbled the crofts on the hill
The old folk are gone but the young lingers on
And thrill to the voice of their island
[Chorus]
Mull of my heart, my island my home
How cruel the hand that has forced us to roam
Farewell to Ben More, to the bracken and burn
No more I'll return to my island
