Heart Of The Highland

Capercaillie

Compositor: John Saich / John Salch

Let the dance begin
lock away the fine china
and kick up the old stone floor
Where the train divides
upon Lomondside
hear the echo from forest to shore
Sailing over deep water
and dancing on air
if you close your eyes
you will be there

Do you dream of a journey
taking you back to your home
where the cry from
the heart of the Highland lives on

When the morning breaks
overground undercover
they're waiting to sound the alarm
where the jets fly
look up and wonder now
could we be easy
without the armed guard
But the heart beats a river
flowing all around the world
the call is unspoken never unheard

Do you dream of a journey
taking you back to your home
where the cry from
the heart of the Highland lives on
