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 m' bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die

Put me on a train
In the pouring rain
Say fore well 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 along in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the love I left behind

How I miss him now
In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine

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
