Written by: Green Townsend (1854)Lead vocals: Robin Gibb: Album: Robin Gibb: My Favourite Christmas Carols (European edition) [2006] Transcribed by Marcel Schildermans | When the summer day is over Its busy cares have flown I will sit beneath the starlight With a weary heart aloneThen it rises like a vision Sparkling bright it shines for me My own dear Ellan Vannin With its green hills by the sea Let me hear the ocean murmur Let me watch your stormy sky Then above the emerald waters Sings the seagull as she flies Then it rises like a vision Sparkling bright it shines for me My own dear Ellan Vannin With its green hills by the sea And in all my times of sorrow And on some lonely shore I’ll go back to Ellan Vannin To my childhood days once more |
