every beat of my heart

Lyrics

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
