Far Side of the World

There are stories I've heard told of an unfamiliar road
Where an evening sun hangs gold in the skyline
In a quiet, unknown town, there is solace to be found
In the unforsaken hours of the twilight

There's a girl, and I can see her
Far away from this frontier

'Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world

On an evening in July, 'neath the red Lochaber sky
She smiled and closed her eyes on my shoulder
Now I'm a million miles from home, from the girl I call my own
And I'm dreaming all alone just to hold her

As I look into the water
I see her standing at the altar

And I want to dance with a Highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world

'Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world

Nail your colours to the mast in the footsteps of the past
And when you breathe your last life's returning
For when the sun sets on the years, all the miles and all the tears
A world away from here, it's the morning

In my mind I see her smile
Where the tide lines grace the isle

'Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world

'Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world

'Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world

'Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world

'Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world

'Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world
