And as the years come and go, I'm still hanging onto hope
And everything 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 touched the shore, you'll be mine for ever more
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
