Lyrics:
I picked up stones on Talisker BayI threw them in the seaI had to find a different waySomething right for meI watched the boats go sailing byI saw the waterfallDropping down the cliff so highI heard the seabirds callI felt the waves on Talisker BayCrashing over the stonesThe ancient dance of foam and sprayAnd tall ships coming homeI threw my voice across the skyIt fell into the seaI was Icarus flying highNobody watching meAnd time stood still for meThere by the margin of the seaI poured a dram on Talisker BayThe night time coming onI decided I would stayAnd feel the kiss of dawnA driftwood fire to keep me warmThe liquid fire insideSuddenly the inner stormQuietened down and diedAnd time stood still for meTasting the smoke and the stoneBy the margin of the seaSweet salty memories of homeBeneath the stars on Talisker BayI sang a simple songAll the world seemed far awayThe night was still and longSomething in that Talisker dramOpened up my eyesI came close to understandingThe things that I should prize(That doesn't make me wise)And time stood still for meTasting the smoke and the stoneBy the margin of the seaSweet salty memories of home
