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
Morning tide (morning tide)
You're sailing me away
Precious (precious)
Morning still
My wealth falls in
All around the island hills
Dying out (dying out)
Across the bay
Oh, the pier runs out
And the Minch waves roll away
Oh, morning tide (morning tide)
You're taking me for all my life
Morning tide (morning tide)
You're sailing me away
Sailing me away
Sailing me away
Sailing me away
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
Chorus: (## repeat 4x ##)
Oh, morning tide (morning tide)
You're taking me for all my life
Morning tide (morning tide)
You're sailing me away
