Beneath The Hyland Skies

Lyrics

(Verse 1) The pipes were singin’ through the glen, The fire burned bright on Ben Loyal then, We gathered round wi’ whisky strong, And the hills themselves sang back our song. The lochs lay dark like mirrors wide, Wi’ moonlight dancin’ on the tide, And every lass and every lad, Swore this was the best night we’d had. (Chorus) Oh hey! Raise your glass up high, We’re dancin’ beneath the Highland sky, The ceilidh roars, the peat fires glow, While the wild north winds begin tae blow. And above the hills the heavens swayed, Green and silver curtains played, The aurora lights shone bold and bright, Over Scotland on that magic night. (Verse 2) Old Angus stomped his boots in time, Young Isla laughed like summer wine, The fiddle raced, the drums did roll, You could feel the music in your soul. From Skye tae Caithness voices rang, Through every chorus all hands sang, The stars looked down upon the crowd, As thunderous cheers grew fierce and loud. (Chorus) Oh hey! Raise your glass up high, We’re dancin’ beneath the Highland sky, The ceilidh roars, the peat fires glow, While the wild north winds begin tae blow. And above the hills the heavens swayed, Green and silver curtains played, The aurora lights shone bold and bright, Over Scotland on that magic night. (Bridge) And if ye wander far from home, Across the seas ye chance tae roam, Remember still that northern gleam, The Highland songs, the smoky steam. For hearts once warmed by firelight gold, And tales the ancient mountains told, Will aye return where spirits run, Beneath the lights of the northern sun. (Final Chorus) Oh hey! Raise your glass up high, We’re dancin’ beneath the Highland sky, The bagpipes cry, the fiddles sing, And echoes roll through every spring. The aurora paints the dark above, Wi’ ghostly shades and Highland love, And Scotland called us through the night, Beneath those blazing northern lights
