European Legacy |
She smiles at me |
From beyond the eastern sea-shore |
Flashing jewelled eyes |
She hoists her skirts so high |
Nouvelle cuisine or an oyster bar --- |
It’s really up to her |
I’ll write every cheque she brings to me |
I shoot on sight --- |
It’s my European legacy |
Round the castle walls --- |
About the Highlands and the Islands |
The faint reminders stand |
A visitor who took a hand |
A thousand years ago, or so --- |
Stranded high and dry by tides --- |
Washed up a new identity |
The channel’s wide --- |
But it’s their European legacy |
I strain my eyes |
Against the southern light advancing |
On whiter cliffs I’m high |
The sea birds roll and tumble as they fly |
I hear distant mainland music echo |
In my island ears |
My feet begin to move instinctively |
To the warmer beat of my European legacy |
She smiles at me |
From beyond the eastern sea-shore |
Flashing jewelled eyes |
She hoists her skirts so high |
Nouvelle cuisine or an oyster bar --- |
It’s really up to her |
I’ll write every cheque she brings to me |
She shoots on sight --- |
It’s her European legacy |
