If I were famous
Oh what a dream…
None can blame us

If I were famous…
Spinning in circles for all to see
Hearing the audience cheering for me
Running, jumping and striking a pose
For I am famous and everyone knows.
The best performance...

Dance in a circle
I’m warming my person
Won’t you turn...

Clans, Ilks and TartansClans, Ilks and Tartans
Woven into threads of red and black,
Girded by grids of white,
Distant plaintive bagpipe memories
Of sunset over Kilmaurs –

Dancing To Love's TuneI had a dream once:
That I walked alone
Along the other bank of a river:
Watched, fascinated,
As gentle waters flowed.
I saw you dancing by the shore
Upon the newly watered grass;
How young and lithe you were

Now piercing darkness' call of loon

The pond's alive, sweet sings the dove
