Runrig Song Lyrics And Chords
These lads formed their group in Skye Scotland in 73' and play a good mixture of traditional type folk songs and folk rock music. They are not that well known outside of Scotland, when I was introduced to their music recently I was stunned at their talent.. Marc, who provided the chords for all the Runrig songs here thought they deserved their own section and I couldn't disagree with him, you just have to admire talent.

English Translation
There's a darkness on the Island of Skye tonight
The colours are clearing away from the hills
A shadow is falling down from the Storr
Like your dark hair sweeping across your face
Chorus
Horo Mary o
Horo Mary o
Horo Mary o
I miss you.
What use is the well without water
What use is the body without the heart
If I had the power of this landscape in my hands
We'd be together again on the island
