Fiel Garvie – The Palace Lights lyrics

I don't know why she should sing,
Saw you lift her off the sea again.
It took ten men to drag her up the beach,
She cried and railed against the meat,
Looks like she could use a day
To find the best way to go.

She took it upon herself
To go back where they left her fortune,
Dancing round a length of rope
She tied it to the biggest boulder going down.

And she died as the tide came up,
She died as the tide came up,
She saw the lights,
She saw the lights as her luck went.
