Scottish roots are there
a mix of something somewhere
and somehow I am

italian and scot
two girls; a rich heritage
steep them in both worlds...

(to one who loved me
when another skin enclosed
this warrior's heart )

from two different worlds...
old and refined, young and wild...
we came together

i, not fit for love
you, afraid to lose yourself
we, like moths to flame

i had to have you
you couldn't live without me
the embers burned hot

as hard as we fought
to keep distance between us
our hearts embraced love

the sparks lit a fire
the fire, a conflagration
and we were consumed

i speak ancient words
tongue of our shared ancestry
"tha gaol agam ort"

smiling you respond
"tha gaol agam ort-fhèin"
heather scents the air

heather and shamrock
fierce independant spirits
entwined forever
