European Legacy

[00:24.44] She smiles at me
[00:26.81] From beyond the Eastern sea-shore
[00:29.73] Flashing jeweled eyes
[00:32.20] She hoists her skirts so high
[00:35.83] Nouvelle cuisine or an oyster bar
[00:38.64] It's really up to her
[00:41.04] I'll write every cheque she brings to me
[00:45.85] I shoot on sight
[00:47.81] It's my European legacy
[00:51.76] 'Round the castle walls
[00:54.29] About the Highlands and the Islands
[00:56.96] The faint reminders stand
[00:59.39] A visitor who took a hand
[01:03.37] A thousand years ago, or so
[01:06.16] Stranded high and dry by tides
[01:09.88] Washed up a new identity
[01:12.85] The channel's wide
[01:14.93] But it's their European legacy
[01:18.29]
[01:33.33] I strain my eyes
[01:35.68] Against the southern light advancing
[01:38.58] On whiter cliffs I'm high
[01:41.04] The sea birds roll and tumble as they fly
[01:44.67] I hear distant mainland music echo
[01:47.65] In my island ears
[01:49.85] My feet begin to move instinctively
[01:54.50] To the warmer beat of my European legacy
[02:03.47] European legacy
[02:08.81] European legacy
[02:11.22]
[02:42.37] She smiles at me
[02:44.73] From beyond the Eastern sea-shore
[02:47.68] Flashing jeweled eyes
[02:50.12] She hoists her skirts so high
[02:53.75] Nouvelle cuisine or an oyster bar
[02:56.63] It's really up to her
[02:59.11] I'll write every cheque she brings to me
[03:03.77] She shoots on sight
[03:05.76] It's her European legacy
[03:09.65] I'll write every cheque she brings to me
[03:14.41] She shoots on sight
[03:16.48] It's her European legacy
