West Of Roan - 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
