There are stories I've heard told of an unfamiliar road
Where the evening sun hangs gold in the skyline
In a quiet, unknown town, there is solace to be found
In the unforsaken hours of the twilight
There's a girl and I can see her
Far away from this frontier
'Cause I want to dance with the highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world
On an evening in July, 'neath the red Loch Tarvie sky
She smiled and closed her eyes on my shoulder
Now I'm a million miles from home, from the girl I call my own
And I'm dreaming all alone just to hold her
As I look into the water
I see her standing at the altar
'Cause I want to dance with the highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world
'Cause I want to dance with the highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world
Nail your colors to the mast, in the footsteps of the past
And when you've breathed your last, life's returning
For when the sun sets on the years
All the miles and all the tears
A world away from here, it's the morning
In my mind I see her smile
Where the tidelines grace the isle
For I want to dance with the highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world
'Cause I want to dance with the highland girl
Where the skies reach out for miles
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
On the far side of the world
