lyrics

There is a story to tell / My friend says she doesn’t remember things well / But oh, oh, I believe she tells it beautifully / She speaks of the isle of her youth / Of how before school she’d walk burdened with pails to the well to
nourish those under her roof
This is life / This is living / That wee girl was just at the beginning

There is a story to tell / My friend says she doesn’t remember things well / But oh, oh, I believe she tells / She speaks of the crofts and the peats / A village where grace was not feigned as they cared for the old, the alone/ good ways taught and gleaned

Warm island light in her eyes into service in Glasgow city / Warm island light in her eyes into marriage and motherhood / She had that warm island light in her eyes even as skies darkened / Those chilling winds blew / Oh, dark waters enslaving her love / Oh, dark waters circling her heart & home / Oh, 20 long years / Oh, in the rise & fall of the perilous squall / Oh, 20 long years / With warm island light in her eyes
At my lowest, He was closest / At my lowest, He was closest This is life / This is living / That wee girl was far from the beginning
Warm island light in her eyes as she sits as my family table / Warm island light in her eyes and the soft, lilting Gaelic on her tongue /
Warm island light in her eyes and I want to thank her for / That warm island light / In our lives
