EILEAN DONAN

Words and Music by Carolyn McLaughlin

Eilean Donan
Eilean Donan
Eilean Donan
Eilean

I can hear the whispers of the soldiers in the courtyard
I can see their faces sleeping in the stone
Hold me close me darlin'
And soon I will be home

Eilean Donan
Eilean Donan
Eilean Donan
Eilean

Don't believe that you and me can hide under the ivy
They can smell the blossoms in our hair
The hills are white with sheep and
"little lamsy divey"
Hold me close me darlin'
And soon I will be there

Eilean Donan
Eilean Donan
Eilean Donan
Eilean

Five Sisters and me
Bound by the sea
Eilean
Five brothers will sail
Down through Kintail

Eilean
Oh, Eilean

Whispers in the courtyard
Here my life begins
Whispers in the courtyard
Here my life begins
Whispers in the courtyard
Here my life begins
Whispers in the courtyard
Here my life begins
How lonely love in time is
How lonely love in time is
How lonely love in time is
How lonely love in time is

Eilean Donan
Eilean Donan
Eilean Donan
Eilean
