From the heart of Humbie Woods There's the garden where she grew Sweet Zathura's calling For her body to be moved This had been our sanctuary This had been a place to hide From the highland [?] Dividing dance before the [blood shine?] [Then made a?] mess between the nest An old pine
Far beyond the Firth of Forth The seagulls sing for an honest bird The sweetest song you've ever heard Of a sister gone too soon
(Hmm) (Hmm)
[Adoring?] branches were the source With which we [pierced?] the forest floor Of everyone and [?] Detained as prisoners of our war I'd never seen you so alive As when your foot fell through the hive How they swarmed your body Extinguishing your little light And, as a coward, I recoiled To save mine
But I wish I'd stayed to keep you safe From a thousand stings [in folding?] space While some things change, no time will face The brother I once knew He's still in you
