From the landing of Portree | |
To the wild Cape Breton coast | |
Every mile in between | |
And on every word I spoke | |
(Chorus) | |
You never left me all the miles | |
You were with me all the way | |
On every cloud that drifted by | |
Every wave my bow did break | |
Where the fire meets the sky | |
In the land of coal and steel | |
I still feel you by my side | |
I feel I always will | |
Chorus | |
And it makes a poor man strong | |
To have a sense of home | |
And the ground on which I stand | |
Knows no distance to me when | |
Chorus |
