Thanks to Colin Ramage of Cairdeas \/ ex-North Sea Gas fame, I’ve finally been able to complete the lyrics of “Broadford Bay”. Colin helped me fill in the gaps left by my incomplete understanding of the Scottish “braw” in several parts, so here goes for all posterity:<\/p>\n

Broadford Bay<\/p>\n

Std Tuning, no capo<\/p>\n

1)
\nthe timeless tides are sweeping
\non the shores of broadford bay
\na quiet heart is waiting
\nfor the dawning of the day
\nHow bright the orange sunrise
\nas the darkness fades away<\/p>\n

CHORUS
\nhere we are you and I
\non the bonnie Isle o’ Skye
\ntogether walking in the morning sun<\/p>\n

2)
\nThe restless clouds are drifting
\nThe sunlight breakin’ through
\nto dance upon the diamonds
\nof the early mornin dew
\nAnd soft the happy whisper
\nas I walk along with you<\/p>\n

CHORUS<\/p>\n

3)
\nThe calmness of the cuiillins
\nthey slumber at their ease
\nonce more we walk together
\nat last a day of peace
\nand breaking through the silence comes
\nthe call of homing geese<\/p>\n

CHORUS<\/p>\n

4)
\nAnd now the summer’s fading
\nfarewell to broadford bay
\na journey now is over
\nwe must be on our way
\nand like the geese that leave you
\nwe’ll be back again some day<\/p>\n

CHORUS<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
