I'll walk in the Highlands

Whenever we measure, life's greatest treasures
The simplest of pleasures is often most high
To hold and to cherish, a love that won't perish
And to walk in the Highlands, with you by my side

Oh well I remember, the first of November
The frost on the heather, I followed the tide
West through the Islands, our ship sailed in silence
And never the Highlands again have I spied

    How many lifetimes I've wandered
    Since I took adventure my bride
    And how many good lives squandered
    Victory and justice denied  

At the end of my story come fortune of glory
are only to answer for blindness or pride
If there's a heaven one thing I believe in
I'll walk in the Highlands with you by my side

(Repeat refrain and last verse)
