J.P. Cormier - Highland Dream lyrics
I work on the railroad, my name is Peyton I come from the East, far away Where the Cape Breton hills touch the starlit waters My home peaceful there lays I came to the West for the work was plenty Building the steel highway So I left all I own and the lass who loved me Vowing to come home one day And last night we walked o'er the mountains Through sunset fields touched with gold And all the birds sang her name In my highland dream I was once again home 'Neath the hot prairie sun I will swing this hammer One dollar, one mile a day And I'd lay the rails down from the Rockies to Mabou Myself, to see my love's face Oh, the iron road runs to the East like silver Polished by our own sweat and tears And many are those who have worked 'til they've fallen They came with their dreams and died here But last night we walked o'er the mountains Through sunset fields touched with gold And all the birds sang her name In my highland dream I was once again home Oh, the winter is nigh and my strength is waning The fever has reddened my brow But a full skin of gold I have earned with my labour Just a few days from home now Oh, the black midnight holds the promise of morning But the sunrise I'll never see Lord, take my soul back o'er the mountains of Mabou To see if she waited for me For last night we walked o'er the mountains Through sunset fields touched with gold And all the birds sang her name In my highland dream I was once again home And just like the birds, my soul sings her name In my highland dream, I have made it home |
