Scottish Highlands

Instrumental Intro

Verse

Cold comes the wind off the moor

My father's land lies under rain

Grey stone and heather and gorse

I count the miles I walked alone

Pre-Chorus

High are the hills I climbed

High was the price I paid

Far was the ship that carried me

Far from the glen I knew

Chorus

Scottish Highlands

Land of my blood

Scottish Highlands

Hold what I lost

I will return

I will return

Verse

I left a girl by the burn

She swore her heart would wait

Seasons have turned into years

Her letter never came

Pre-Chorus

Long are the roads I roamed

Long was the night I wept

Deep is the ache I keep

Deep as the lochs I crossed

Chorus

Scottish Highlands

Land of my blood

Scottish Highlands

Hold what I lost

I will return

I will return

Bridge

Rise up you mist

Rise up you rain

Carry my name

Over the crags and the cairns

Rise up you wind

Rise up you sea

Bring back the boy

Bring him home to me

Chorus

Scottish Highlands

Land of my blood

Scottish Highlands

Hold what I lost

I will return

I will return

Post-Chorus

Home

Home

Bring me home

Home

Outro

Farewell the moor

Farewell the rain

Farewell the glen

I am coming home
