Eternally You - Dougie MacLean

I wish that you could see us

It would cheer your weary heart

Look what’s been done

We’ve torn the whole damn thing apart

And I wish that we could tell you

You didn’t have to be so sad

And look what’s become

Of the tragic life you had

And now it’s all eternally you

It’s all eternally you

And now it’s all eternally you

It’s all eternally you

He didn’t want to leave you

But a young man must be brave

And people will talk

And they would rather sin than save

But oh your little bright one

Well, he has made his way alone

The seed of your heart

Into a forest grown

And now it’s all eternally you

It’s all eternally you

And now it’s all eternally you

It’s all eternally you

Stand on the shore, smother the shame

You can do nothing more

The tears in you eyes washed by the rain

What was the sacrifice for?

So final in acceptance

In Kilbrennan’s sunset night

But an old woman dreams

And she would rather feel than fight

But I wish that you could see us

It would cheer your weary heart

Look what’s been done

We’ve torn the whole damn thing apart

And now it’s all eternally you

It’s all eternally you

And now it’s all eternally you

It’s all eternally you
