Highland river ringed by mountains, skies so blue; Like the bald eagles winging Like the grasses softly singing Like the highland river running, I flow through…
When I was young, all was easy every day
So few worries, cares or heartaches in the way Like the bald eagles winging Like the grasses softly singing Like the highland river running, every day…
Then you came and all around me life burst out
I could run and jump and cry and laugh and shout Like the bald eagles winging Like the grasses softly singing Like the highland river running, na, na, na…
When you left though sunshine vanished, all was dark
And the pains and heartaches gripped my fevered heart Now only bald eagles winging, Only grasses softly singing Just the highland river running, na, na, na..
Now I’m older and I’m wiser through and through
And know more of what is false and what is true, Like the bald eagles winging, Like the grasses softly singing Like the highland river running, running blue….
