Stornoway Girl Songtext / Lyric

'Avril - what was that thing you

said in the bar last night about neon?

(Avril) –'Well, I think the old inlanders

see neon as a trick to twist the poetry

out of the young'

'that's, that's wonderful'…






Oh my love

Oh my Stornoway Girl

Oh my love

Oh my Stornoway Girl

She's the woman set the heather on fire

She is everything a man could desire



Oh my love

Oh my Stornoway Girl

Stornoway girl by the ocean

I see the strength in your life

Stornoway girl by the ocean



She knows the trick of the ride

And the truth of the tree

And the machair in summer

And the dark winter's day



Stornoway girl
