"Every Beat Of My Heart" lyrics
Gladys Knight & The Pips Lyrics
"Every Beat Of My Heart"
Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family
And my country
heaven knows where I belong
Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain say farewell
but don't say goodbye
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home
And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the
Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

Martha Reeves & The Vandellas - "Bless You" Ooh, this morning when I woke up
Sunshine touched my heart
Children of the earth
They walk so far apart
From this protection
Of what's supposed to be
They don't have it going like
You and me
Oh,...
The Spinners - "I'll Always Love You" So, you're breakin' my heart
Takin' my sunshine away
Knowing that I'm to blame

Darling, I've got to try
'Cause in my heart I know that I
I'll always love...
