(r. stewart, k. savigar)
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
Chorus:
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 gla** 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
Chorus
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
Chorus
