Shona Mara - Lynn Hilary (piano/vocal cover by Christy-Lyn Marais) with lyrics

Lyrics:

She waits till midnight's fallen
Upon the waiting evening
Then takes the path toward the cliff
Above the ocean roar
She passes by the cottage
Roses on the railings
To the last place they held each other
His tender lips on hers

When summer had flown
Evening kisses softly blown
And after the harvest the days were winter long
He's still gone
And never to return

She watched the last boat leaving
The wake of silver water
And with the turn of morning tide
Her heart could break no more
But what for those there left behind
To trawl the cold Atlantic line
Or labour on the stoney land
From which their souls were born

A memory held in granite
The golden light revealing
The story of the heartbreak years
An island that still mourns
Oh, blessed are the lovers
Who gave their hearts so freely
They found each other once again
Upon the ocean floor.

**This song is written by Lynn Hilary, Don Mescall and John Fitzgerald, originally recorded by Lynn Hilary on her Album "Take Me With You".

Wonderful! I have been looking for the sheet music for this song everywhere! Where did you find it?

@WNSHeather Hi! Thanks for watching :) I love this song too. I don't think there is sheet music available to the song, sorry! I looked for sheet music, but when I could find it I worked it out by ear. Would you like me to send you the chords?

@clmarais, Sorry for the inconvenience. I keep a fairly high privacy wall being a Junior High School teacher. -- You understand, I'm sure -- : ) The friend problem is solved. You now are free to reply. If you wish.

@keebearfull Thanks so much for your comment! :) I tried to reply to your questions on my channel by sending you a message, but your channel won't allow it unless I am your friend...
