Josh Rouse - The Western Isles lyrics

rate me

Holiday,

I can see the light from the western isles

Faded and white like a western smile

We could live here, you know

Nobody say

Caught up in a life that is based on lies

Struggle and strife from the nights of fire

Just getting by, you know

Cigarettes and black grease tea..

Could we feel at home?

Far, far away,

I can hear the birds on western isles

Singing in the night like an ancient choir

Oh how I love you so

Don’t worry baby,

You’ll be alright with the western smile

Maybe there’s a life on the western isles

In a few years or so

Cigarettes and ...

maybe we’ve been aging in

And we’re almost home

Almost home

Head up for the western isles

We head up for the western isles

We head up for the western isles

We head up for the western isles

Oh and there we wanna go

Oh and there we wanna go.
