[Verse 1]
These are the words that I stole from a bird, over and above
These are the cards I play close to my heart, my love
[Verse 2]
All through the dreich it was you I did seek, lowlands and above
Strange were your ways with a strange turn of phrase, my love
[Chorus]
Oh my darling, my fortunate find
You do your best to be true, and I'll do mine
[Verse 3]
These are the notes that the canny wind wrote, over and above
Roll off the sea with a blue melody, my love
[Chorus]
Oh my darling, my fortunate find
You do your best to be true, and I'll do mine
[Verse 4]
All through the dreich it was you I did seek, lowlands and above
Strange were your ways with a strange turn of phrase, my love
[Chorus]
Oh my darling, my fortunate find
You do your best to be true, and I'll do mine
You do your best to be true, and I'll do mine
