Back to the highlands Lyrics

Dundee's the place I want to be
I left there in 1973
I caught a glimpse of what hell could be
Such a long time ago
On my own don't you know

So I went to another land
To find an answer, understand
Be guided by the unknown hand
Such a long time ago
So I want you to know

I?m leaving today
I?m running away back to the highlands
It's a way of escaping from the place
It's driving me mad
But when I get there
I better beware
Because in the highlands
I could be running still

Across the north and lonely sky
To feel the fires of home alive
If i?m gone today, there are no goodbyes
Such a long time ago
So I want you to know
