West Of Roan - The Gray Sea

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1951719
On the gray sea
My mother stood, looking back at me
She looked toward the sea
The waves
The waves took her from me

Ah-ah-lee
Ah-ah-loh
Ah-ah-lay-loh

Where are you?
My mother, oh, longing to go
Where is your soul?
To leave your eyes so dark
To leave me alone

Ah-ah-lee
Ah-ah-loh
Ah-ah-lay-loh

In the gray sea
They move under the water
La-la-la-loh
They go toward home

Ah-ah-lee
Ah-ah-loh
Ah-ah-lay-loh
