Sinéad O’Connor
Outlander - The Skye Boat Song (Revolutionary Version)
[Chorus]
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul, she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
[Verse 1]
Mull was astem, rum on the port
Eigg on the starboard bow
Glory of youth glowed in her soul
Where is that glory now?
[Chorus]
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul, she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
[Verse 2]
Give me again all that was there
Give me the sun that shone
Give me the eyes, give me the soul
Give me the lass that's gone
[Chorus]
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul, she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Billow and breeze, islands and seas
Mountains of rain and sun (mountains of rain and sun)
All that was good, all that was fair
All that was me is gone
[Chorus]
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul, she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
[Outro]
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
