j. p. cormier - highland dream كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
i work on the railroad, my name is beaton
i come from the east, far away
where the cape breton hills touch the starlit waters
our home, peaceful, there lays

i came to the west, for the work was plenty
building the steel highway
so i left all i owned, and the lass who loved me
vowing to come home one day
[chorus]
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 oncе again home

[verse 2]
‘neath the hot prairiе 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

[chorus]
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

[verse 3]
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
i’m 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

[chorus]
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

[outro]
and just like the birds, my soul sings her name
in my highland dream, i have made it home
