Isabella McBride Lyrics

Isabella McBride takes the hand of the stranger

With a single tear she spoke every word

Though she could not speak for her body has failed her

A tear rolls down and the stranger heard

In the shade tree home they care for the old

Isabella McBride goes there to die

To hell with the world, she sits by the window

Curses a world that passes her by

Now a song she loves, the voice of a stranger

With every word a year peels away

To another time, a dance in the moon light

A walk in the garden, a lover’s bouquet

How the magic lends itself to the music

How the mystery of some old melody

Can be frozen in time, now the song from a stranger

Melts Isabella’s memory

Isabella McBride takes the hand of the stranger

With a single tear she spoke every word

Though she could not speak for her body has failed her

A tear rolls down and the stranger heard
