the girl from the highlands - balsam range lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i walked out from inverness in the fall of ’23
with a dream for america my home
my pretty blue eyed bonnie made every step with me
scared to death and shivering from the cold

[pre-chorus]
well i promised that i’d send for her in just a little while
kissed her on the cheek and said ‘sail across the miles’

[chorus]
she was standing on the sh-r- waving goodbye
missed her love forever more with a tear drop in her eye
well twenty years have come and gone
and i’ve tried with all my might
the girl from the highlands haunts me every night

[verse 2]
to the busy streets of boston in the year ’25
word had come from across the ocean wide
that winter in the highlands, fever spread like fire
and my pretty blue eyed bonnie, she had died

[pre-chorus]
well the guilt will live inside me till i’m drawing my last breath
i never shoulda left her that day in inverness

[chorus]
she was standing on the sh-r- waving goodbye
missed her love forever more with a tear drop in her eye
well twenty years have come and gone
and i’ve tried with all my might
the girl from the highlands haunts me every night

[bridge]
she lives within the shadows
that fall upon the walls
she walks through my dreams
until the morning calls

[chorus]
she was standing on the sh-r- waving goodbye
missed her love forever more with a tear drop in her eye
oh, twenty years have come and gone
and i’ve tried with all my might
the girl from the highlands haunts me every night
