Isle of Barra,oh mist rolling in from the sea
my desire is always to be here , oh Isle of Barra.
Chorus 1:
Far have I travelled and much have I seen
dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
Past painted deserts the sun sets on fire
as he carries me home to the Isle of Barra.
Refrain:
Isle of Barra,oh mist rolling in from the sea
my desire is always to be here , oh Isle of Barra.
First bagpipe solo
Sweep trought the heather like deer in the glen
carry me back to the days I knew then.
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
of the life and the times of the Isle of Barra.
Refrain:
Isle of Barra,oh mist rolling in from the sea
my desire is always to be here , oh Isle of Barra.
Second bagpipe solo
Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the rain
still takes me back where my memries remain.
Figurind amber grow higher then high
as they carry me back to the Isle of Barra.
Refrain:
Isle of Barra,oh mist rolling in from the sea
my desire is always to be here , oh Isle of Barra.
Refrain:
Isle of Barra,oh mist rolling in from the sea
my desire is always to be here , oh Isle of Barra.
