lyrics

Scotland Is Calling

Come home, sweet child, now the snow, the snow is falling
The wild ocean rages, the four winds bitter moan
Come home, sweet child, for Scotland is calling
Its time, its time, to return to your own.

The long years have passed, the past is in mourning
The days been so vast, since you went, you went away
So come home, sweet child, for Scotland is calling
And the sadness of exile’s no way to end your days.

The streets that you knew never knew ancient tartan
The streets where you grew were harsh & dark & mean
The childhood you knew was hard as it was Spartan
But still its the land of which you always dream.

Chorus
And you left in search of glory & the warmth of the sun
But never found your glory when the warm sun was gone
Yes, you left in search of glory & the warmth of the sun
But never found that glory when your dreams were done.

You've heard Scotland's song in strange & distant places
That sung of her wrongs, of her martyrs & her kings
You've sung that song to strangers with kind faces
Touched by the sadness her song always brings.

Chorus

(Instrumental)


So come home, sweet child, now the snow, the snow is falling
The wild ocean rages, the four winds bitter moan
Come home, sweet child, for Scotland is calling
Its time, its time, to return to your own
Its time, its time, to return to your own
Its time, its time, to return to your own.
