Lyrics

From the word start my feet set to wander Down shady lanes in the morning Endlessly searching in restless abandon Reaching for my Hannah Daughter of the highlands With eyes full of gauze and shoes full of gravel I don't know the way still l follow Down through the ages eternally longing Combing the highlands for my Hannah And when I get to town I'll dance you all around Drain the old malt barrel we'll be smiling Then we'll laugh 'til we cry and make love 'til we die Oh how I've missed you Hannah Daughter of the Highlands I've endured battle scars my best years in the trenches And cruel sounds of war that can't be silenced It left my ears a-ringing still I hear Hannah singing Calling my heart back to the highlands In my dreams you're always young although now you'd be much older Your face still unchanged your eyes still crying From the day you got the letter that told you I would never Make it home to you my Hannah Daughter of the Highlands And when I get to town I'll dance you all around Drain the old malt barrel and be smiling Then we'll laugh until we cry and make love 'til we die Oh how I've missed you Hannah, Daughter of the Highlands In the still hour of dawn like a vapor rushing over The waters of time our love keeps riding Not just mine but all my brothers and so many others Still haunting across the misty highlands For though your darling boys who went away to join Have left this world and never more you'll find them But our souls goes marching on and you'll hear us like a song When the wind comes a whistling through the Highlands We'll laugh 'til we cry and make love 'til we die Oh how we've missed those daughters of the Highlands
