about

This song is for the amazing people I met in Rostrevor. Whether they were from around the world or right there in the Emerald Isle they became home to me. So this song is for them.

lyrics

Oh the mist it tries to shroud the mountains
So the mighty peaks will never see the sun
But the mist it fades away every morning

In the wild winds I'll sing a sad song
If the birds are listening they'll sing along
But the mountains heard their fair share of sorrows
In this land that I've come to call my home

Chorus:
Where the waters rise and fall
And the heather oh it blooms
And the stories are woven in the trees
But I love this land for more than it's grassy shores
For this people they have become my home

Oh there's many a foreign traveler
Finds welcome and warmth on these shores
But if you're caught outside when it's raining
You get to love this land I've come to call my home

The river runs free through the fairy glen
And the stream it laughs and dances o'er the stones
And the bog will steel you shoes it knows what's best for you
In this land that I've come to call my home

Chorus

And if your feet they take you to the Cornerhouse
You will find yourself in glad company
For the stories are as rich as the music is free
In this land that I've come to call my home

Chorus

Instrumental

Although time relentlessly demands change
And soon morning will call for me to go
The song of the mountains may bring me
Back to this land that I've come to call my home

Chorus x2
