Black Rose |
| A fallen woman at Water of Hoy |
| A life gone to ruin for a sailor boy |
| He ran to the sea and turned a blind eye |
| Fleetly forgotten no lovers' goodbye |
| She looked to the ocean to drown out the shame |
| They held up their crosses and blackened her name |
| Walked into the sea and summoned the tide |
| No misbegotten from islander’s life |
| And I’ll die for my sins |
| And the life within me |
| They’ll cut me down 'cause I’m a black rose |
| But the scent lingers on where the howling wind blows |
| The rope that I hold set free my soul |
| Just hair, skin and bone for a soldier’s peep show |
| In the heather-clad hills forever enshrined |
| Here lies a woman for love and for pride |
| And I’ll die for my sins |
| And the life within me |
| They’ll cut me down 'cause I’m a black rose |
| But the scent lingers on where the howling wind blows |
| I’m a black rose |
