lyrics

He'll cross the sea today
beautiful blue today
ferry's rolling in
To the croft that waits
and the cows who stand and look
for him every day.

Watch the Burg today
waterfalls giving way
to the sea below.

The sea it's wild today
ferry's kept at bay
safe in the Bullhole
And the croft that waits
and the cows who stand and look
won't see him today.

A touch of frost today
watch it slowly melt away
and the moon high in the afternoon sky
To the croft that waits
and the cows who stand and look
for him every day.
