Every Beat of My Heart

through these misty eyes i see lonely skies

lonely road to babylon

where's my family and my country

heaven knows where i belong

pack my bags tonight here's one check

about who must leave or surely die

put me on a train in the pouring rain

say farewell but don't say goodbye

seagull carry me over land and sea

to my own folk that's where i wanna be

every beat of my heart

tears me further apart

i'm lost and alone in the dark

i'm going home

one more glass of wine

just for auld lang syne

and the girl i left behind

how i miss her now in my darkest hour

and the way our arms entwine

seagull carry me over land and sea

to my own folk that's where i wanna be

every beat of my heart

tears me further apart

i'm lost and alone in the dark

i'm going home

and we'll drink a toast

to the blood red rose cheer a while

the emerald isle

and the northern lights

and the swirling pipes

how they make a grown man cry

seagull carry me over land and sea

to my own folk that's where i want to be

every beat of my heart

tears
