"Far Side Of The World" lyrics
There are stories I've heard told, of an unfamiliar road
Where the 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 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, 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 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
'Cause 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 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 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
Where the 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 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, 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 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
'Cause 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 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 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
