Far Side of the World - Live from HebCelt

(We're going to leave you with one more song now
Let's finish it off
This is called '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, I can see her
Far away from this frontier
(Put your hands up and sing)

And I wanna dance with a Highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I wanna 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
And 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
(Sing it to me Heb Celt)

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

And I wanna dance with a highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I wanna 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 breath your last
Life's returning

For when the sun sets on the years
All the miles and all the fears
A world away from here
It's the morning
(Clap your hands)

In my mind I see her smile
(Higher)
Where the tide lines grace the isle
(Here we go)

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

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

(Thank you very much for being such a great crowd
We're not going to forget this gig for a while
I want you to sing with us now to finish it off
So you know the chorus, I want to see every hand in the air
And every voice singing, that's everyone outside as well
Here we go)

And I wanna (Dance with a highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I wanna feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world) Again

And I wanna (Dance with a highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I wanna feel the breeze of the Hebrides)
It needs to be louder Stornaway come on (On the far side of the world)

And I wanna (Dance with a highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I wanna feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world) One more time

And I wanna (dance with a highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles) That's amazing
I wanna feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world

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

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

(Thank you very much Heb Celt, enjoy the rest of your night)
