and never shall i grow old oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh i was roaming far from home far from the town that i left behind out in the wild under open sky found myself in a field of green fairest of lands that i ever saw the wind was different there under open sky wind wiped the tears off my face light shone a way through the haze clouds cast shadows on fields below rain fell but was no longer cold felt i was stranded out of time gently touched by the breath of the gods colours primeval under open sky wind wiped the tears off my face light shone a way through the haze clouds cast shadows on fields below rain fell but was no longer cold and the world may be falling still pipes are calling me home highland winds you own my soul gladly i laid it in your hands let me roam in these green green lands and never shall i grow old i believe i could sit here a thousand years feeding on air watching nothing change thinking this is a good place to die this is a good place to die sad was the day when i had to go back to the town that i left behind enamoured for life under open sky but in my mind this land s forever clear and in my thoughts i will travel there to ease all pain and calm my fear under open sky a piece of me remains under open sky i left my heart under open sky highland winds you own my soul gladly i laid it in your hands let me roam in these green green lands and never shall i grow old highland winds you own my soul gladly i laid it in your hands let me roam in these green green lands and never shall i grow old thinking this is a good place to die but a better place to live
