The Iolaire

Words & Music by Folky MacFolk Face (2018)

I can still see the lights in the harbour,
I can still feel the roll of the sea,
I can still hear the birds as they call me back home,
Back where you’re waiting for me.

Now, I don’t know what I’ll say to you,
So I’ll sit here and write it all down,
Through those long, sleepless nights,
I’d still think of you,
Dressed, in your wedding gown.

And the gunfire fades in the distance,
As I pray to the Iolaire.

To bring me back home, bring me back home again,
Where I belong in your arms,
I pray to you, take me there.

I can still feel the crash as we ran aground,
I can still hear the roar of the sea,
I can still hear the cries of 200 lost souls,
I still hear you crying for me.

And those harbour lights are so distant,
As I pray to the Iolaire.

To bring me back home, bring me back home again,
Where I belong in your arms,
I pray to you, take me there.

And now the sea is my mistress,
And it’s there I’ll always roam,
For the sea, she took the Iolaire,
There on the Beasts of Holm.

And though you’re now so distant,
I still pray to the Iolaire.

To bring me back home, bring me back home again,
Where I belong in your arms,
I pray to you, take me there.

Bring me back home, bring me back home again,
Where I belong in your arms,
I pray won’t you, take me there.
