[00:48.05]
[00:53.05]In one of these lonely Orkney Isles
[00:56.81]There dwelled a maiden fair.
[01:00.18]Her cheeks were red, her eyes were blue
[01:03.75]She had yellow curling hair.
[01:07.22]Which caught the eye and then the heart
[01:11.06]Of one who could never be
[01:14.60]A lover of so true a maid
[01:18.31]Or fair a form as she.
[01:21.22]
[01:23.51]Across the lake in Sandwick
[01:26.96]Dwelled a youth she held most true,
[01:30.52]And ever since her infancy
[01:34.00]He had watched those eyes so blue.
[01:37.51]The land runs out into the sea -
[01:41.03]It's a narrow neck of land -
[01:44.45]Where weird and grim the Standing Stones
[01:48.09]In a circle where they stand.
[01:52.21]
[02:08.99]One bonny moonlight Christmas Eve
[02:12.53]They met at that sad place
[02:15.81]With her heart in glee and the beams of love
[02:19.56]Were shining on her face.
[02:22.80]When her lover came and he grasped her hand
[02:26.51]What loving words they said.
[02:29.83]They talked of future's happy days
[02:33.51]As through the stones they strayed.
[02:37.04]
[02:38.70]They walked toward the lovers' stone
[02:42.39]And through it passed their hands.
[02:45.62]They plighted there a constant troth
[02:49.23]Sealed by love's steadfast bands.
[02:52.74]He kissed his maid and then he watched her
[02:56.62]That lonely bridge go o'er.
[02:59.63]For little, little did he think
[03:03.18]He wouldn't see his darling more.

[03:08.92]Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles
[03:12.45]Gazing out to sea
[03:15.73]Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles
[03:19.25]Bring my love to me.
[03:22.57]
[03:37.67]He turned his face toward his home
[03:41.30]That home he did never see.
[03:44.42]And you shall have the story
[03:48.09]As it was told to me.
[03:51.38]When a form upon him sprang
[03:54.86]With a dagger gleaming bright,
[03:58.29]It pierced his heart and dying screams
[04:01.89]Disturbed the silent night.
[04:06.73]
[04:41.88]This maid had nearly reached her home
[04:45.05]When she was startled by a cry.
[04:48.42]She turned to look around her
[04:51.63]And her love was standing by,
[04:55.33]His hand was pointing to the stars
[04:58.92]His eyes glazed at the light,
[05:02.24]And with a smiling countenance
[05:05.87]He vanished from her sight.
[05:09.23]
[05:10.86]She quickly turned and home she ran
[05:14.44]Not a word of this was said,
[05:17.77]For well she knew at seeing his form
[05:21.58]That her faithful love was dead.
[05:24.63]And from that day she pined away,
[05:28.11]Not a smile seen on her face.
[05:31.58]With outstretched arms she went to meet him
[05:35.31]In a brighter place.
