Finally Scotland
Appeared on Meanwhile back in Japan
For his good friend Roger
(David Munyon)
I was nineteen and ready on the shores of love
With a needing heart and the need to run
I was nineteen and I felt like seventy nine and fog was heavy
I'd seen her once with a glancing eye
Her beauty could melt pure gold
Now I'm sailing from only god knows where
And want to be going home
Finally Scotland and loves arms
Finally Scotland and my farm
Finally Scotland and her kiss
Finally Scotland and her bliss
She was more than lovely and a good dancer too
With heavens light in her beautiful shoes
She was eighteen and standing in her hair like fire
On a stormy stormy night
I missed my chance to dance with her
Fear had taken hold
Now I sleep alone on my starbird sight
And her memory won't let me go
Finally Scotland and loves arms
Finally Scotland and my farm
Finally Scotland and her kiss
Finally Scotland and her bliss
Now I don't now what brings us these lives we live
With these memories and these could have beens
I'm old now and worry I may forget her name, or something
Maybe there's love in heaven to find
Maybe live just takes sometimes
Maybe I broke her heart once before
Maybe she's just gettin' even
Finally Scotland and loves arms
Finally Scotland and my farm
Finally Scotland and her kiss
Finally Scotland and her bliss
