From the recording Celtic Tales
Lyrics
My heart is heavy, my eyes filled with tears
As I watched my horse Embar return
Riderless and alone
I knew in my heart
Oisin was gone
Leaving me now alone
To rule Tir Na Nog on my own
My mind raced back to the day we first met
Under the moonlight, when he swept me off my feet
But I never imagined, he'd be taken away
Leaving me to face the world, incomplete
My Heart, My Heart is Heavy
I Miss Him So
<Chorus>
Oh Niamh, so strong and brave
You must rule your kingdom with grace
Though your love is gone, you must carry on
And face the challenges that lie ahead
But I won't let sadness consume my soul
For I know I have a kingdom to uphold
With strength and determination, I’ll lead the people
And keep the memory of Oisin alive and bold
For legends of great men and their deeds should be retold
Oh Niamh, strong and brave
(Niamh) Their legends should be retold
You must rule your kingdom with grace
(Niamh) Oisin, how I loved you
Though your love is gone, you must carry on
And face the challenges that lie ahead
Outro:
My horse Embar may have returned alone
But I will never be truly on my own
For I will always have the love of the people
And the spirit of Oisin by my side, forevermore.
