lyrics

A wife, just a wife who knew too much.
A husband feared.
Stormy wild, whisky fired,
Must mean she's dangerous and got rid of.

A fight and a struggle,
But she was taken...

So very far away.

A mother with a power.
Desperation, paranoia.
From the Highlands,
Then by boat to the Monarch Islands

Two more years of isolation
For our now lost tongueless patient.
And she didn't even know the name
Of her place of enforced habitation.

From those seal-flecked shores they wavered,
Another prison awaited lady;
To the cliffs where the sea birds whiten,
And the people of her frighten.

If you want to silence her,
By gannet or by fulmar,
Take away her children and then send her to St Kilda.
