Lyric Quote for the Day #1, February 25

(I am sure Mbo will come up with one, too)

Let the Dance begin
Lock away the fine china and kick out the old stone floor
When the train departs for Lomondside
Hear the echo from forest to shore
Sailing over deep water and dancing on air
If you close your eyes you will there

Do you dream of the journey
Taking you back to your home
Where the pride grows,
The heart of the Highlands lives on.

When the morning breaks, overground, undercover,
They're waiting to sound the alarm
When the jets fly, look up and wonder, now,
Could we be easy without the armed guard?
In the heart beats a river
Flowing all around the world
The call is unspoken never unheard

Do you dream of the journey
Taking you back to your home?
Where the pride grows,
The heart of the Highlands lives on.

Capercaille

Peg,

That is absolutely lovely...I think it would sound beautiful in two part harmony with chocolate and scotch on the side...

Damn, that is beautiful...

Amos, singing after imbibing scotch I can do, but chocolate has a tendency to coat the vocal chords...unless it is the dark, non-dairy, barely-sweetened kind...such as they serve in France in the popular "bread and chocolate" snack...hey that sounds like a nice combination!

this is an absolutely beautiful song and one of my favorite of Capercaille's original, non-traditional songs...

No Peg,
I think the chocolate goes on, not in.
