lyrics

Away to the westward I'm longing to be
Where the beauties of heaven unfold by the sea
Where the sweet purple heather blooms fragrant and free
On a hill top high above the dark Island

Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee
As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me
When I'm back, once more upon the dark Island

True gem of the Hebrides bathed in the light
of the midsummer dawning that follows the night
How I yearn for the cries of the seagulls in flight
As they circle high above the dark Island

Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee
As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me
When I'm back, once more upon the dark Island

Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee
As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me
When I'm back, once more upon the dark Island
