Lyrics The Real McKenzies

The Real McKenzies

Heather Bells

i will go back to my homeland

to the land where i long to be

i will go back now to my homeland

to the land that's now a calling me

[Chorus:]

it's no more my step will wander

it is there i'll go and then

i will find all i long for yonder

when the heather bells will bloom again

other ones will dream of their land

as the land where they long to be

and yer own land is aye a fair land

but my scottish land is home to me

[Chorus]

other ones will dream of their land

as the land where they long to be

and yer own land is aye a fair land

but ay highland place is home to me

[Special End Chorus:]

but the spring is but a memory

in my heart there's still a song

so sweet & clear i can hear it calling

from the scottish land where i belong
