When I Close My Eyes
When i close my eyes
To follow Scotland's coast
I am so undecided
To which part i love the most
From the Shetland Isles
To the Borders so green
These vistas of miles
Really have to be seen
The Isle of Arran
And the Island of Mull
To the Minch of Lewis
I fly with the seagulls
When you go inland
Crystal waters run through the glens
Have seen the rise and fall
Of many, many men
As you walk round our cities
In history so steep
The tales of the past
Would make a grown man weep
Every so often
As i close my eyes
I soar with the eagle
Through our Scottish skies
