Pride of the Summer

I still hear the snares in the square Colours ablaze in the evening The air was still Down the stormy hill It's good to be young and daring I still see the blood on the knees The camans swing without warning The lads in white At the speed of light It's good to be young and daring Across the bay I still hear thee strains The two step loud and Blair-ing We walked hand in hand To the accordian band It's good to be young and daring She was the pride of the summer that year She was my sweetheart, my lady We walked the black rock And we stopped by the loch It's good to be young and daring Beat the drum Beat the drum Like a heartbeat Lonely and strong Beat the drum --- Pride of the Summer - Runrig
