Every Beat Of My Heart

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 glass 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
