Lyrics Eternally You - Dougie MacLean

Eternally You

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
