A song of bitter loss and despair, which still manages to find a ray of hope in the fact that Charlie escaped and will “rise again”. This is a version with the original Lyrics performed by Ella Roberts for the Highland Saga Show. The singer Ella Roberts is a native of Australia with Celtic roots. A few years ago she traced her Scottish and Irish ancestors back to the Highlands and discovered her passion for Celtic music and song.
