Bonny Doon

Lacy J. Dalton

Tonight I watched the sun go down
Behind the hills of Bonny Doon
Didn't know I'd be losing you
Oh I didn't know, so soon
Because you came to me
Like a bird with a broken wing
my love will heal him
And he will fly again

It's for your little, dark-haired no one
Well she don't have to answer to me
If she can't sleep by her own conscience
Well it ain't of no interest to me
Because she came to you
Knowing you were not free
And you, you had to have her
And turn your back on me

That's for you, my little hawk
Did it frighten you that bad
Did you come too close to losing
All the earthly things that you had?
But I tell you truth
Dying has lost its 
'Cause you were just a pretender
When I had crowned you king
And the fog rolls in like a mystery
On the breast of the northern sea
And it wraps itself around my heart
Until it's a part of me

Tonight I watched the sun go down
Behind the hills of Bonny Doon
The twilight hid my tears from me
Well I'll dry them by the moon
And when the evening star
Comes into my side
I'll wish you peace and clarity
For every hour, tonight
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Down in Bonny Doon
