lyrics

Beautiful place - believe
From the French beau lieu
Five miles west
Of Inverness

Ooh, the way you look
Makes my starry eyes shiver
Then I look awa-a-ay
Too much for one day

Mary, Queen Of Scots
Once visited Beauly
Treasure so rare
That even devils might care

But her brother James
The Earl of Moray
With his two brothers
Put into execution
The act against sorcery
Witchcraft and necromancy

While they worshipped the sun
The way they got their fun
Was by burning witches
Mary thought that she'd go far
Maybe someday be a star
But she just saw red
And then she lost her head

All of that hope
And that aspiration
All drained from you
Your life's pattern drowned in blood
But the winds could not erase
The memory of your face

History tells
Of a very strange couple
Their soul ships pass by
Solo trips to the stars
In the sky

Gliding so far
That the eye cannot follow
Where do they go
We'll never know
