Roger Whittaker and Des O'Connor - The Skye Boat Song

Now if you load your rifle right
And if you fix your bayonet so
And if you kill that man, my friend
The one we call the foe

And if you do it often lad
And if you do it right
You'll be a hero overnight
You'll save your country from her plight

Remember God is always right
If you survive to see the sight
A friend now greeting foe
No, you won't believe in it anymore

It's an illusion, it's an illusion
No you won't believe in it anymore
It is for children, it is for children
Building daydreams

If I knew then what I know now
(I thought I did you know somehow)
If I could have the time again
I'd take the sunshine leave the rain
If only time would trickle slow

Like rain that melts the fallen snow
If only Lord if only
If only lord if only
Oh, I don't believe in it anymore

It's an illusion, it's an illusion
No, I don't believe in it anymore
It is for children, it is for children
Building daydreams

No, I don't believe in it anymore

It's an illusion, it's an illusion
No, I don't believe in it anymore
It is for children, it is for children
Building daydreams
