I'm yearning for my
hebridean island
the mountains there
are heather sweet today
It's maybe just because
my heart is highland
I long for Mull and
Tobermory bay.
The fishing boats
the nip of autumn
weather
The spendthrifty
the excitement
of the fray.
The toil of hauling
in the nets together
then homing back
to Tobermory bay.
Down here I fear
I'm not
belonging rightly
the lowlands are
attractive
in their way.
but all the same
my mind is
anchored tightly
to sunrise over
Tob ermory bay.
Too kindly folk
too honest
to deceive me
I'd guarantee
their goodness
everyday.
Their highland
hearts are true
as gold
believe me
than all the gold
in Tobermory bay.

The birds need
only lift their
wings and wander
how I wish I was as
fortunate as they.
If I had wings
to spread I'd
fly them yonder
I'd settle down
in Tobermory bay.
My dream of Mull
grows stronger
still and stronger
so strong it is
I dare not disobey
It's home for me
I can indeed
no longer
resist the call
of Tobermory bay.
It's home for me
I can indeed
no longer
resist the call
of Tobermory bay.
