Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!
Ae farewell, and then forever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.

Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me, nae cheerfu' twinkle lights me,

Forward to gather, we share the beam of weathered oak
Father to father, we lean on every word they spoke
Listen how the winds are due to change
Look at how the tide it turns again

CHORUS
We're following another time, following another time
It's beautiful, old and these ties cannot hold it

Mirk and rainy is the nicht
There?s no a star in a? the carry
Lightening gleams across the sky
And winds they blaw wi winter fury

O are you sleeping Maggie
O are you sleeping Maggie
Let me in , for loud the linn

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne*?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,

When it’s time to bleed then the ones you need
Are the ones who stand beside you
Not the ones who’ve flown but the ones who’ve grown
With the peace that’s deep inside you

CHORUS
And I will not let go
No I will not let go

A tall tree, turn and face the west
O we’re running with the wind
A high cliff-top, we’re waiting with the rest
For this journey to begin

CHORUS
But these broken wings won’t fly
These broken wings won’t fly at all

I'm the child of the Great Cree Nation
See me I'm my father's son
We live by the Great Bull
See me I'm the wild one
This morning we are ready to show the Buffalo our knives
And by the red of sunset we'll have relieved them of their lives

CHORUS

I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid that I might drift away
So I've been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I seem so far away today

CHORUS
Ah but let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me and now I'm going home

We are not made of stone
We’re half way there and half way gone
But we bend and believe in the strength of the light and the signs we receive
And we are not careful clear we struggle on from year to year
And on the winds of our fate we drift like a boat that has anchored too late

CHORUS
But I’m not alone

It's cold in the alley and it's cold upon the stair
But he's got to keep on running - he knows he'll never get there
The long night is cruel, he can never go home
And he's out on the street and he's feeling so alone

CHORUS
Oh Lord he is a desperate man
They've used him, abused him and fooled him again

They came down to the merchant city
Where the privileged lie and poverty kills
They came a long road of pain and pity
Where’s the sense for the Highland girls?

CHORUS
Dolina like a little child
Dolina with these dreams to fill

I wish that you could see us O it would cheer your weary heart
And look what’s been done we’ve torn the whole damn thing apart
And I wish that we could tell you it didn’t have to be so sad
Look what’s become of the tragic life you had

CHORUS
And now it’s all eternally you
Now it’s all eternally you

She loves me, she loves me not – where can a simple island boy begin?
This Highland pride is all I’ve got but in the darkness it means everything
It makes me one with the tide
It makes me strong when I’m burning inside

CHORUS
Standing here on Cadderley
Between the burn and the turning sea

scattered like gold from dunkeld to aberfeldy
the seasons unfold that's the things we love
walk through the field in the frost of a winter morning
nature revealed that's the things we love

no don't ask us to take what we can give her
she lives inside us and we know her well
there's no right reason to fear or to forgive her

Gin I were a baron's heir
And I could braid wi' gems your hair
And make ye braw as ye are fair
Lassie, would ye lo'e me?
And I would take ye tae the toon
And show ye braw sichts mony an ane
And busk ye wi' a silken goon
Lassie would ye lo'e me?

efore Robert Burns

Green grow the rashes O,
Green grow the rashes O,
The feather-bed is no' sae saft
As a bed amang the rashes O.

Refrain:

These are fine words you're saying, I know you mean them well
But this game of life we're playing is half in heaven, half in hell
And your ideals are to be envied like some little child's dream
But they crash around my aching head like rocks tumbling down a stream

CHORUS
You're the soldier of freedom and you're the fighter for peace
But you'd put the gun into my hand and signal up the guillotine's release

In these tired and troubled times it's easy to feel afraid
And the angry young man - and the castles that he's made
In these long and empty days it's easy to feel the fool
The angry young man he'll break every rule

CHORUS
She comes to me like a high flying seagull
She comes to me like a eagle, she comes like a swan

Out adrift with all uncertainty
Stranded in the years that have betrayed you
And your dignity had gone
What to do but stand and shout against the wind
Shout against the wind

CHORUS
You have found a home in the centre of the circle

A royal king a shinning knight
To lead us through this bloody fight
To search for all the golden bell
To ring through all his citadel

CHORUS
The broken promises
The truth they hide

On the ocean o'he
Waves in motion o'ho
Not but clouds could we see
O'er the blue sea below

Islay looming o'he
In the gloaming o'ho
Our ship's compass set we

Little darling
I see your tired and empty eyes and the pain of a life that’s broken
Little darling
Though everybody tries, no the door it will never open

CHORUS
Let her go, let her go
Set her free and let her go

There are changes that have led us to this place
Some formed from our wonder and some from our disgrace
But that doesn’t help the way we feel
We’re standing in the centre of the broken wheel

CHORUS
But I’ll change my ways
I’ll do anything you say

From ship to shining shore
Out of and age when time was young
Across the silver ocean’s floor
Their endless battle has begun

CHORUS
And they burn upon the open hand blinding all who see
They feast upon the desert land marching on

Something happened here in this cold deserted place
Where mighty walls have vanished leaving not a trace
Something's not quite right where ravens cast a guilty eye
And hidden reason still continues to deny

CHORUS
But Mary I can feel your pain I can hear your heart breaking
On the silent fields of Fotheringay I can hear your heart breaking

We have been fooled we have been deceived
Our ancient values have been trampled out
We have been moved on and disbelieved
Looked at in horror if we dare to shout

Give us the strength to hold on
To what we were forced to let go
Give us the strength to recognise

From up here she said there’s no compromise
I’ve seen them laughing and they’re in up to their eyes
And all their clever words are whistling in the wind
Whistling in the wind
From up here she said you get the widest view
Someone’s watching no matter what you do
And if you hesitate they steal away your time
Steal away your time

OPEN FIELDS
Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean. Published by Limetree Arts and Music

Great halls wide with the ages and filled with the treasures of time
High walls more than the strongest of hearts should believe they could climb

CHORUS
We all stand here broken and torn

The waves crash in and the tide tide pulls out
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shining out to warn the lonely sailor
And the lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold through the sailor's bones, to the sailor's soul
Till there's nothing left that he can hold except the rolling ocean

CHORUS
But I am ready for the storm, yes sir, ready

Old layers of time have buried the ways that the others have grown
And though sturdy and strong his eyes open wide with each new unknown
And O it’s for the earth that he screams in the night
He’s a servant of the seasons and the morning’s early light
But the troubled one he says

CHORUS
Rescue me he says rescue me

Take the young ones to the desert teach them how the arrow flies
How to smell the beast upon the wind and run with mother nature’s loving lies
Show them how to balance what is wrong and what is right
And make their own directions through the longest darkest night

CHORUS
Oh you need that rite of passage before you can continue on
That brave self understanding you can lean your dreams upon

Another lonely, lonely night
You didn’t expect him but you thought he might
But you won’t lose any sleeping
’cause you know everything’s all right

CHORUS
And he’ll come rolling home, rolling home
He’ll come rolling home to you

Now that the storm has broken now as the winds blow cold
There's nothing here but trouble and fear to make man grow old
Now as our reasons are fading now as the walls tumble down
With nothing to hide but hunger and pride
Won't make a man look round

CHORUS
So I'm leaving, yes I'm leaving

Scots, wha hae wi’ Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed
Or to victorie!

Now’s the day, and now’s the hour:
See the front o’ battle lour,
See approach proud Edward’s power –

I still remember when I first watched him work the blade
It was down in the Buckney den my questions tumbled and he said
O this is not a thing to learn inside a day
Stand closely by me and I’ll try to show the way

CHORUS
You’ve got to hold it right feel the distance to the ground
Move with a touch so light until its rhythm you have found

From the island of the mountains to the hills across Argyll
With a heart that is so broken with every weary mile
And he'll never hear the whisper of his Hebridean wind
Or the thunder of the ocean as the Minch comes tumbling in

CHORUS
He's holding out, he's holding out
On the frayed edge of time - on the borderline

SEVENTH SEA
Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean. Published by Limetree Arts and Music

Let me find out where we’ve landed, somehow this doesn’t seem so right
We could be lost we could be stranded in the darkness of the night
And I don’t see the broad horizon, don’t feel the warmth of the sun
Which makes it all the more surprising when you think on where we’ve come

He walks he does not run he has no overwhelming need to fly
His heart remains unbroken no need to search the sky
But me I’ve never found that place
I wander recklessly ..and

CHORUS
I know that she will find me
I know that she will find me

When I see you cry well you know that I just feel such desperation
And it seems that I'll never understand this crazy situation
And it seems that lovers must be sad just to make some complication

CHORUS
And you can't hold on to the silver and gold
The silver won't have you and the gold's been sold

Your burning skies are never ending across your red brush plains
Out where the dingo still is king and eternity remains
There between the old and ancient there's an oasis bright
Your gentle children who have gone are close to me tonight

CHORUS
In your singing land
In your singing land

So much time has gone since we worked out in these open fields
With the hope of generations pulled around us and a strength revealed
And so much has been done since we ran around the Snaigow wood
Never knowing where our gentle lights might lead us
Or if indeed they could.

CHORUS
And we do not stand alone

I can almost see the other side, my little lovely
On silent silver wings I dip and glide, my little lovely
America the eagle she has nurtured fear into my heart
Her cruel, her vice, temptation tears the very seeds of life apart

I can almost feel your loving eyes, my little lovely
Warming up these cold, these winter skies, my little lovely
I know there have been times when all my words are thrown back in my face

How long did you think it would take until it started to weaken?
How long could you fumble and fake and not see it was beaten?
You crave for the other man’s shoes
You break and you bite you black and you bruise but

CHORUS
This line has broken
And what could have been saved has been wasted away

It's a thin line that leads us and keeps a man from shame
And dark clouds quickly gather along the way he came
There's fear out on the mountain and death out on the plain
There's heartbreak and heart-ache in the shadow of the flame

CHORUS
(But) this love will carry. This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me

Oh they tell their tales to the wide young eyes
Of the fertile plains the cloudless skies
But honesty must take the strain
Where lies move fast like the roaring train

CHORUS
And the shy ones bleed while the sure ones fail
On the trail of the survivor

Seaward they came
On the wings of the wind, on the edge of the flame
To these ancient shores
For the cancer they bring destroys as it roars

CHORUS
And it's tumbling down
You had your chance but it's tumbling down

CHORUS
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we’re oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here

On the water we have walked like the fearless child
What was fastened we’ve unlocked revealing wondrous wild

He stands the open door
He’s greeted by the dawn
An eagle look upon his face
Now the mist of sleep has gone
He walks across the field
His senses search the air
Another new day revealed
Life’s reflections everywhere
