From the landing of Portree To the wild Cape Breton coast Every mile in between And on every word I spoke (Chorus) You never left me all the miles You were with me all the way On every cloud that drifted by Every wave my bow did break Where the fire meets the sky In the land of coal and steel I still feel you by my side I feel I always will Chorus And it makes a poor man strong To have a sense of home And the ground on which I stand Knows no distance to me when Chorus
