Every Beat Of My Heart

Rod Stewart · Forever Young [2005]

Through these misty eyes

I see lonely skies

Lonely roads to Babylon

There's my family and my country

Heaven knows where i belong



Pack my bags tonight

Here's one Jacobite

Who must leave or surely die

Put me on a train

In the pouring rain

Say fairwell, don't say goodbye



Seagull carry me

Over land and sea

To my old folk

Thats where I wanna be



Every beat of my heart

Tears me furthur apart

I'm lost and alone in the dark

I'm going home



One more glass of wine

Just for Auld Lang Sang

And the girl I left behind

How I miss you now, in my darkest hour

And the way, our arms entwined



Seagull carry me

Over land and sea

To my old folk

That's where I wanna be



Every beat of my heart

Tears me further apart

I'm lost and I'm alone in the dark

I'm going home



(scottish instrumental)



And we'll drink a toast

To the blood red rose

Tear awhile the Emerald Isle

Until the northern lights

And the swollen pipes

How they make a grown man cry



Seagull carry me

Over land and sea

To my Old Folk

That's where I wanna be



Every beat of my heart

Tears me further apart

I'm lost and alone in the dark

I'm going home



Every beat of my heart

Tears me further apart

I'm lost and alone in the dark

I'm going home



I'm going home
