Lyrics
among the fields of Heather there
I can see you standing where
we used to stare up at the sky
Alpines growing on the mountainside
as the Golden Eagles fly
far above the snow on bending boughs
when away from you
I have a heart of blue
I am missing you
Scotland my home
walking on streets of cobble stone
in a village near my home
of the wee ones fill my soul
from the highlands to the sea
there's no place I'd rather be
than on your hallowed ground
when away from you
I have a heart of blue
I am missing you
Scotland my home
love glowing on my true love's face
through the touch of simple grace
I am proud of who I am
all the legends & the myths
hearing bagpipes in the mist
all these things mean everything to me
when away from you
I have a heart of blue
I am missing you
Scotland my home
