Lyrics
Verse 1
Where the grey cliffs meet the wild Atlantic foam
She walks the rugged hillside all alone
With a shawl of emerald green against the cold
And hair that spins the autumn sun to gold
Chorus
Oh, the wind will sing her name across the heather
Through the driving rain and changing of the weather
With a heart as deep and ancient as the sea
She’s the maiden of the hills, forever free
Verse 2
By the stone wall where the purple foxgloves grow
She hears the quiet rivers rush and flow
There is laughter in her clear and bright blue eyes
Like the sudden clearing of the stormy skies
Chorus
Oh, the wind will sing her name across the heather
Through the driving rain and changing of the weather
With a heart as deep and ancient as the sea
She’s the maiden of the hills, forever free
Bridge
They may sing of golden cities far away
But she loves the misty dawn and fading day
For her roots are tangled deep within the clay
Where the fiddle and the pipe will always play
Chorus
Oh, the wind will sing her name across the heather
Through the driving rain and changing of the weather
With a heart as deep and ancient as the sea
She’s the maiden of the hills, forever free
Outro
Forever free
Where the wild waves foam
She is home
