about

from Tom Houston's CD Open the Skylights. Produced by Neill MacColl

lyrics

New world

The storm has passed the winds of change
Raven’s flying high on Beinn an Oir
The sun lies flat across the isle
And glistens brightly on the shore
And glistens brightly on the shore


And we’re leaving it all behind
We’re on the borderline
The things we haven’t seen
In my North American dream
In my North American dream

The clouds close in we leave Loch Broom
Our fragile hopes lie in the hold
We ask the piper for one more tune
the notes still linger in my soul
the notes still linger in my soul

And we’re leaving it all behind
We’re on the borderline
The things we haven’t seen
In my North American dream
In my North American dream

I work the furnace night and day
The sting of Pittsburg in my eye
And with every dollar that I make
A little something in me dies
A little something in me dies


And we’re leaving it all behind
We’re on the borderline
The things we haven’t seen
In my North American dream
In my North American dream
