Head of
ribbons running down the brae
In the morning, in the
morning
Bare-foot sisters and a milking pail
Turning around
At
the weekend the boats come in
From the herring, from the
herring
Wives and families and the table laid
Turning
again
Forever you'll be eyes of blue
In the circle of your
youth
Picking every blade of truth
Down the Newton road
War
is over and the boys come home
From the fighting, from the
fighting
Love letters and a great unknown
Turning
again
Counting your blessings at the village hall
To the
dancing, to the dancing
A little loving and a lot of soul
Turning
again
Forever you'll be eyes of blue
In the circle of your
youth
Picking every blade of truth
Down the Newton road
You
took your beauty and your heart of gold
To the alter, to the
alter
Bound forever in an August vow
Turning around
The
skies of summer shone around your door
Little children, little
children
Three men who couldn't love you more
Turning
again
Forever you'll be eyes of blue
In the circle of your
youth
Picking every blade of truth
Down the Newton road
One
door opens and another closed
Oh the parting, oh the parting
New
arrivals and a family grown
Turning around
Head of ribbons
running down the brae
In the morning, in the morning
Pulling
moments from the clock of faith
Turning again
Forever
you'll be eyes of blue
In the circle of your youth
Picking
every blade of truth
Down the Newton road
Forever you'll be
eyes of blue
In the circle of your youth
Picking every blade of
truth
Down the Newton road
Von Calum und Rory Macdonald
