Ah, lost in the mists of Islay
Through a veil of bygone years
Through the exile's hidden tears
One dear vision oft appears
Out of the mists of Islay
Rovan, oh, oh rovan, ee
Rovan, oh, oh rovan, ee
Evermore my heart will be
Lost in the mists of Islay
Waters break on rocky shore
Sea winds sighing as of yore
Sea birds crying as they soar
Over the mists of Islay
Isle memory home to me
Nevermore thy hills I'll see
Evermore my heart will be
Lost in the mists of Islay
Ah, lost in the mists of Islay
Lost in the mists of Islay
Lost in the mists of Islay
