Misty Islands of the Highlands
That’s where this heart of mine forever longs to be
Misty Islands of the Highlands
Homeland of memories where the heather meets the sea
Lone crofter’s cabin that beckons from the glen
Sweet voice that’s singing “Will ye no come back again”
Misty Islands of the Highlands
That’s where this heart of mine forever longs to be.
