Lyrics
[Verse 1]
An island in the sunlight
Laughter in the rain
A whisky in the darkness
It all feels just the same
[Verse 2]
Watch the sunset over Hynish
See the twilight merge to dawn
Hear the waves caress the shoreline
As the island carries on
[Verse 3]
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
[Verse 4]
There's two lovers on the Machair
And they walk down to the sand
Their silhouettes are on the water
As they paddle hand in hand
[Verse 5]
And it's a game of sweet surrender
When there's nothing left to say
And there are moments to remember
Once these days are long away
[Verse 6]
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
[Verse 7]
So you look out on the ocean
See the headlands and the strands
And you wonder what horizons
Will shape tomorrow's plan's
[Verse 8]
And through the turning of the seasons
And the cycle of the days
Every drink's another reason
To let tomorrow sail away
[Verse 9]
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
[Verse 10]
The surging of the ocean
The breakers on the shore
The echoes of our bodies
To the lover's dream we soar
[Verse 11]
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
[Verse 12]
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
