The Rose Of Inch Poem by jim hogg

Tonight I went walking in the moonlight
Amongst the leaves still falling from the trees
Through echoes coming from another lifetime
To spend a little time just missing you

The scented lanes that wind around the loch side
Ablaze in spring with shades of every hue
They've never felt so lonely in the moonlight
As if the lanes of Inch still miss you too

The haunted pond down by the ruined Castle
Now holds a vague reflection of the moon
And shimmers in the mist as if recalling
The last time I came strolling here with you

I'll always remember what it felt like
To taste the lips that once so softly kissed
As moonlight slowly shades into the dawning
I lose myself in love so sweetly missed

I spoke to some old friends yesterday, here
We touched on all the changes that we've seen
And just like me they wonder how you are, dear,
And wonder if you miss our fields of green

(chorus)
Our village lights were shining in the distance
I couldn't bear to walk there without you
It's been so long since we were there together
I'm guessing that the folks there miss you too
