The Lost Love of Montrose

[Verse]
In Montrose
Where the heather grows wild
I gave my heart to a lass and our child
But fate
It was cruel
And night it did fall
Lost her and our babe
Leaving me with the pall
[Verse 2]
We walked by the river
'neath skies of gray
Dreaming of futures while the world slipped away
But shadows grew longer
And love turned to woe
Left in the ashes where the wild winds blow
[Chorus]
Oh Montrose
Your memories sting
With echoes of voices that no longer sing
A love torn asunder
A life left in pain
Alone in the silence
Whispering her name
[Verse 3]
In the dawn
Where clovers kissed the ground
I saw her beauty
Heard a love so profound
But harvests of sorrow
They came far too soon
Now nights are my comfort
Wrapped in their gloom
[Verse 4]
By the old oak
Where our promises lied
I placed a token for the tears that I cried
A prayer for the woman who held my heart close
Now lost to the earth in the fields of Montrose
[Chorus]
Oh Montrose
Your memories sting
With echoes of voices that no longer sing
A love torn asunder
A life left in pain
Alone in the silence
Whispering her name
