Banks of Eden Water

Compositor: Alan Jukes / Lewis Gardner / Nathan Evans / Stephen Jukes

Oh, there's a picture in my pocket
Of the girl I left in Scotland
And on the banks of Eden water
Oh, I know she'll wait for me

Oh, my heart split in two on the day that I left you
Now I walk through the valleys on my own
And as the years come and go, I'm still hanging on to hope
And every step takes me closer to home

Oh, there's a picture in my pocket
Of the girl I left in Scotland
And on the banks of Eden water
Oh, I know she'll wait for me
Where the mountains kiss the ocean
Where the earth and heavens meet
And on the banks of Eden water
Oh, I know she'll wait for me

As my feet touch the shore, you'll be mine forevermore
I promise that I'll never leave again
Oh, and as we're growing old, I'll be yours to have and hold
By the Eden water rolling through the glen

Oh, there's a picture in my pocket
Of the girl I left in Scotland
And on the banks of Eden water
Oh, I know she'll wait for me
Where the mountains kiss the ocean
Where the earth and heavens meet
And on the banks of Eden water
Oh, I know she'll wait for me
