Westering Home - The Celtic Tenors

Westering home with a song in the air

Light in me eye and its goodbye to care

Laughter o' love and a welcoming there

Isle o' my heart my own one

Tell me of lands of the Orient gay

Speak of the riches and joys of Cathay

Ah but it’s grand to be waken at day

To find yourself nearer to Islay

Westering home with a song in the air

Light in me eye and its goodbye to care

Laughter o' love and a welcoming there

Isle o' my heart my own one

Where are the folk like the folk of the west

Canty and couthy and kindly, the best

There I would hie me and there I would rest

At home with my own folk in Islay

Westering home with a song in the air

Light in me eye and its goodbye to care

Laughter o' love and a welcoming there

Isle o' my heart my own one

Now I’m at home and at home I do lay

Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay

I’ll board a good ship and I’ll be on my way

And bring back my fortune to Islay

And it’s westering home with a song in the air

Light in me eye and its goodbye to care

Laughter o' love and a welcoming there

Isle o' my heart my own one

Westering home with a song in the air

Light in me eye and its goodbye to care

Laughter o' love and a welcoming there

Isle o' my heart my own one

Westering home with a song in the air

Light in me eye and its goodbye to care

Laughter o' love and a welcoming there

Isle o' my heart my own one

Isle o' my heart my own one
