Every Beat Of My Heart

Song by Rod Stewart, K. Savigar.


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 Jacobite
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
want to 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

[repeat *]

[instrumental interlude]

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while
The Emerald Isle

And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make
A grown man cry

[repeat *]

I'm going home
