[verse 1]

From the landing of Portree

To the wild Cape Breton coast

Every mile there inbetween

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

[verse 2]

Where the fire meets the sky

From the land of coal and steel

I still dream you by my side

I feel I always will

[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

[bridge]

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]

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
