Lyrics
When the north wind slashes
Right through your clothes
When December comes
November goes
When the ships stop sailing
Through the ice and snow
Time to leave this rocky island
As the warm breeze rises
And the springtime comes
When the waters rise
And the harbor clears
Restless heart are yearning
To be out of here
Time to row back to my island
Heed the way
We'll lead the way
Through the night so cold and lonely
I will keep
This guiding light
By the rocks of Tobermory
When the seas are howling
Through the raging gales
When the steamers pitch
When you shred your sails
We'll keep the signal trimmed and shining
So she never fades
Save you from this rocky island
Heed the way
We'll lead the way
Through the night so cold and lonely
I will keep
This guiding light
By the rocks of Tobermory
Oh the rocks of Tobermory
Sing out a silent song
Hauling sailors to their graves
But the thought of all those rocks and wrecks won't last too long
When I think of all the lives this light has saved
I'll be there to greet you
On our patch of green
In the age of coal
And of kerosene
Now it's all been torn apart for metal and machine
So farewell my rocky island
When the north wind slashes
Right through your clothes
When December comes
November goes
When the ships stop sailing
Through the ice and snow
Time to leave this rocky island
Heed the way
We'll lead the way
Through the night so cold and lonely
I shall keep
This guiding light
By the rocks of Tobermory
By the rocks of Tobermory
