| [00:11.89] |
A fallen woman at Water of Hoy |
| [00:16.53] |
A life gone to ruin for a sailor boy |
| [00:26.01] |
He ran to the sea and turned a blind eye |
| [00:37.93] |
Fleetly forgotten no lovers' goodbye |
| [00:46.80] |
She took to the ocean to drown out the shame |
| [00:52.12] |
They held up their crosses and blackened her name |
| [01:01.86] |
Walked into the sea and summoned the tide |
| [01:14.56] |
No misbegotten from islander's life |
| [01:22.83] |
I'll die for my sins |
| [01:32.64] |
And the life within me |
| [01:42.71] |
They'll cut me down 'cause I'm a black rose |
| [01:52.15] |
But the scent lingers on where the howling wind blows |
| [02:02.65] |
The rope that I hold set free my soul |
| [02:07.34] |
Just hair, skin and bone for a soldier's peep show |
| [02:16.25] |
In the heather-clad hills forever enshrined |
| [02:28.96] |
Here lies a woman for love and for pride |
| [02:37.81] |
I'll die for my sins |
| [02:47.36] |
And the life within me |
| [02:57.64] |
They'll cut me down 'cause I'm a black rose |
| [03:06.76] |
But the scent lingers on where the howling wind blows |
| [03:20.41] |
I'm a black rose |
