I'll Walk in the Highlands

Whenever we measure life's greatest treasures
The simplest of pleasures is often most high
To hold and to cherish, a love that won't perish
And to walk in the highlands with you by my side

Oh well, I remember the first of November
The frost on the heather, I followed the tide
West through the islands, our ship sailed in silence
And never the highlands again have I spied

And how many lifetimes I've wandered
Since I took adventure, my bride?
How many good lives squandered
Victory and justice denied?

At the end of my story, come fortune or glory
Or only to answer for blindness or pride
If there's a heaven, one thing I believe in
I'll walk in the highlands with you by my side

And how many lifetimes I've wandered
Since I took adventure, my bride?
How many good lives squandered
Victory and justice denied?

At the end of my story, come fortune or glory
Or only to answer for blindness or pride
If there's a heaven, one thing I believe in
I'll walk in the highlands with you by my side

I'll walk in the highlands with you by my side
