Mairi's Smile

Is the north wind pushing rain in my face?
Are there dark clouds? They mean nothing to me
I am living in a state of grace
All I think of, all I see
Is Mairi's smile
My eyes are open but that smile is all I see
That pretty smile
I dream of Mairi's pretty smile for me

She helps her mother serve in the shop down by the sea
Where I've watched her, and never thought that she knew
But when her mother said she should bring those things to me
I'm certain that she threw
A little smile
She turned and threw a little smile to me
That pretty smile
I dream of Mairi's pretty smile for me

It can be lonely at the shieling
It can be lonely on the hill
I find I'm talking to the sheep, talking in my sleep
Brave against my will

In the morning she will walk up from the town
And I'll see her climbing over the gate
Then she'll greet me and put her basket down
Until then I must wait
A little while
I must only wait a little while to see
Her pretty smile
I dream of Mairi's pretty smile for me

A little while
I must only wait a little while
