Lyrics
[Verse]
The mist wrapped tight around the shore
Whispers carried where I am not no more
A lighthouse blinked
A tired eye
It saw me leave so it asked me why
[Chorus]
My heart was left in Shetland
With the tide
With the stone
It stayed with you
I’m now flesh and bone
The wind it hums
It hums your name
So Shetland keeps my heart in chained
[Verse 2]
The heather blooms where we once lay
Its purple haze still stains the day
Your voice lingers in the ocean’s sigh
I told myself I wouldn’t lie
[Prechorus]
But the cliffs don’t forget
And the sea won’t let me
[Chorus]
My heart was left in Shetland
With the tide
With the stone
It stayed with you
I’m flesh and bone
The wind it hums
It hums your name
So Shetland keeps my heart in chained
[Bridge]
No ferry will carry it back
No raven will deliver the slack
It’s buried deep where storms reside
With Shetland’s ghosts
Where my heart hides
[Chorus]
My heart was left in Shetland
With the tide
With the stone
It stayed with you
I’m flesh and bone
The wind it hums
It hums your name
So Shetland keeps my heart alive
