The Clearances - Plainsong[00:00:00]

Written by：Dawson[00:00:00]

As I was out walking down by the seashore[00:00:09]

I met a young woman was crying[00:00:13]

I asked her the reason for all her lament[00:00:17]

And why she was wringing and sighing[00:00:22]

Oh Sir it's a wonder we meet here today[00:00:26]

And a wonder my heart is still beating[00:00:30]

For not two hours hence[00:00:35]

I have buried my child[00:00:36]

And my husband in despair defeated[00:00:39]

May the winds of the ocean blow over my bones[00:00:43]

And hell be my home when I'm dying[00:00:48]

If ever a man shall be able to say[00:00:52]

That a daughter of scotland was lying[00:00:57]

For the story unfoldding will burn at your ears[00:01:01]

And melt out the heart of a mountain[00:01:05]

And the glens full of sheep[00:01:10]

Will be washed by my tears[00:01:12]

Where once there were people for counting[00:01:14]

They took us at daybreak before we arose[00:01:18]

They took us without any warning[00:01:23]

And the house we had lived in for all those years[00:01:27]

Was nothing but stones by the morning[00:01:32]

They tore at our roofs with their breakers of steel[00:01:36]

And spat on our trust with their curses[00:01:40]

And we starved[00:01:45]

And we froze[00:01:46]

In the wind and the rain[00:01:47]

While they fingered the straps of their purses[00:01:49]

Now ships there are waiting in stranraer town[00:02:11]

The east winds are cruelly blowing[00:02:16]

And It's new world's are waiting and old world's are gone[00:02:20]

With the chill of the breakers a rolling[00:02:24]

And hope will be sailing to scotia's pale shores[00:02:29]

Like flocks of old geese they are flying[00:02:33]

But I had a dream as I lay in my bed[00:02:38]

And it's here I'll be doing my dying[00:02:42]

And princes and kings will be drinking tonight[00:02:46]

A toast to the power and the glory[00:02:51]

And may god bless their dreams as they lay in their beds[00:02:55]

As I make an end to my story[00:03:00]

And all that I'm asking is earth for a grave[00:03:04]

A stone and a bunch of white heather[00:03:08]

For my joy and my beauty no more will I live[00:03:13]

But death be my comfort forever[00:03:17]

Death be my comfort forever[00:03:20]

Death be my comfort forever[00:03:22]

Death be my comfort forever[00:03:24]

Death be my comfort forever[00:03:26]
