ETERNALLY YOU
Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean. Published by Limetree Arts and Music
I wish that you could see us O it would cheer your weary heart
And look what’s been done we’ve torn the whole damn thing apart
And I wish that we could tell you it didn’t have to be so sad
Look what’s become of the tragic life you had
CHORUS
And now it’s all eternally you
Now it’s all eternally you
He didn’t want to leave you but a young man must be brave
O and people will talk and they would rather sin than save
But O your little bright one he has made his way alone
The seed of your heart into a forest grown
CHORUS
Stand on the shore smother the shame
You can do nothing more
The tears in you eyes washed by the rain
What was the sacrifice for?
So final in acceptance in Kilbrennan’s sunset night
An old woman dreams she would rather feel than fight
But I wish that you could see us it would cheer your weary heart
Look what’s been done we’ve torn the whole damn thing apart
CHORUS
