Another Trip to Skye

He was the one and only love I knew

that really stole my heart.

Beautiful love, with eyes of steel,

and then one day he just disappeared.

My life had been so lonely,

till he made my days a work of art.

So blessed with ever charming love,

now such a pain I could not have feared.

Tell me, what can I do?

Mother, what can I do?

Tell me how can I endure

my life without him?

My heart is bleeding now

know it will soon break down.

I can only say a prayer,

why is life so unkind?

Shouldn’t leave me behind!

Tell me has it been some fault

in my love for him?

My arms are aching now,

tears shedding on my gown.

Won’t you please heed to my prayer?

I’m praying for my love to feel

my sorrow and come to my rescue.

I’m strewing flowers on the roads,

hoping that he’ll follow in their scent.

Flowers and herbs I will prepare

to soothe his skin and hair anew.

I will be waiting for him as long

as my back finally will bend.

Tell me, what can I do?

Mother, what can I do?

Tell me how can I endure

my life without him?

My heart is bleeding now

Know it will soon break down.

I can only say a prayer

Why is life so unkind?

Have you left me behind?

Tell me has it been some fault

in my love for him?

My arms are aching now

tears shedding on my gown.

Won’t you please heed to my prayer?
