Lyrics:
An island in the sunlight
Laughter in the rain
A whisky in the darkness
It all feels just the same.
Watch the sunset over Hynish
See the twilight merge to dawn
Hear the waves caress the shoreline
As the island carries on.
I’ve been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves.
There’s two lovers on the machair
And they walk down to the sand
Their silhouettes are on the water
As they paddle hand in hand.
And it’s a game of sweet surrender
When there’s nothing left to say
And there are moments to remember
Once these days are long away.
I’ve been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves.
So you look out on the ocean
See the headlands and the strands
And you wonder what horizons
Will shape tomorrow’s plans
And through the turning of the seasons
And the cycle of the days
Every drink’s another reason
To let tomorrow sail away.
I’ve been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves.
The surging of the ocean,
The breakers on the shore,
The echoes of our bodies,
To the lovers’ dream we soar.
I’ve been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves.
Written by A. Macphail and R. Robertson

Loved this line up. Miss Robert. First heard it on South Uist. Played it on the beach in a howling windy storm in October. Still get the same feelings when I hear it.
Who do you have on the whistle?

American here in 2024! 🙋🏼♀️ just got back from an incredible trip to Scotland and our tour guide played this song on the bus. Now I’m going through a deep dive and downloading Scottish music left and right. This song is amazing!

Skippinish is my new favourite band. Absolutely the best!!!!!
Absolutely love this song. So easy to sing along with. Absolutely brilliant.
Started coming to Scotland a few years ago to visit my nephew. Was in a pub in Mallaig when we first heard Skippinish and Skerryvore playing. Since then have taken a liking to some trad/ rock bands, nice to hear something different.
Absolutely beautiful song.
This song flows throughout my soul. I heard it for the first time driving in British Columbia through the mountains. Its one of my favorites of all time. It will never leave me
I feel so lucky to have been brought up in the west of Scotland and greater still to have a connection to Tobermory. Skipenish are great and their songs make me very happy.
This song just makes me so happy
