The Other Side - Dougie MacLean

I can almost see the other side, my little lovely

On silent silver wings I dip and glide, my little lovely

America the eagle she has nurtured fear into my heart

Her cruel vice temptation tears the very seeds of life apart

I can almost feel your loving eyes, my little lovely

Warming up these cold these winter skies, my little lovely

I know there have been times when all my words are thrown back in my face

All these lover’s crimes that leave me standing naked in disgrace

I can almost hear the tumbling burn, my little lovely

As down the Buckney Den she tips and turns, my little lovely

The sound of children’s laughter voices ever asking why and how

Those hills of home are getting so much clearer to me now
