Your life

Darkness creeps out
from the midnight sky
as summer reaches
towards its height

Music will soon
emanate from
beside the harbour
here in Stornoway

Music was your life
The sea was your life
The sky was your life
and they remember you

The machair
whispers your name
the roads lie silent
remembering your dance

The black shadow
remembers you
and still waits
in the Window on the West

Will she yet come
striding up the path
oh she will, little one
beyond the Rainbow Bridge

You're in the light
swimming strong
your voice, your laughter
lighting up the heavens
