The Dark Island Song Lyrics.
Away to the westward, I'm longing to be,
Where the beauties of heaven, unfold by the sea,
Where the sweet purple heather, blooms fragrant and
free,
On a hill-top, high above the Dark Island.
Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee,
As the steamer leaves Oban, and passes Tiree,
Soon I'll capture the magic, that lingers for me,
When I'm back, once more upon, the Dark Island.
So gentle the sea breeze, that ripples the bay,
Where the stream joins the ocean,
and young children play,
On a strand of pure silver, I'll welcome each day
And I'll roam forever more, the Dark Island.
Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee,
As the steamer leaves Oban, and passes Tiree,
Soon I'll capture the magic, that lingers for me,
When I'm back, once more upon, the Dark Island,
.
3. True gem of the Hebrides, bathed in the light,
Like a midsummer dawning, that follows the night,
How I long for the cry, of the seagulls in flight,
As they circle high above, the Dark Island,
Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee,
As the steamer leaves Oban, and passes Tiree,
Soon I'll capture the magic, that lingers for me,
When I'm back, once more upon, the Dark Island.
