colin macleod - queen of the highlands lyrics

hear me as i lay my cards on the ground
oh, the life and the love i have wasted so far
stone coloured eyes are a hardy disguise
oh, i breathe and i move but i am not alive

oh so sweet, oh, what a crime
you knocked me out
you are a light

let me be clear you can always mistake
my actions for love like some easy betrayal
7 am in the airport that day
i was running from someone but i couldn’t say
i lost time, time after time
it’s all the same
you went away

but the queen of the highlands
she has gone home
and i’m laughing thinking why i ever let go
the queen of the highlands, she was my home
so i go back
back to my island

took all my pride and i got on that plane
no one will believe me, i hate them the same
i have done things, i’ve been there, you can’t know
oh, the great open ocean, your prison of hope
take it from me, i had it all
i threw it away
they didn’t take it
i’ve had enough, thought it was less than i deserve
i couldn’t take it
hear me as i lay my drink on the bar
i could tell you a story but it won’t go far
i lost the love of my life but who cares?
oh, you’ll know never ’cause you’ve never been there
