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
