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
