Barclay James Harvest - Forever Yesterday Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Talk about a loser, i was just about to go
  • When someone grabbed me by the arm, a man i did not know
  • He said he'd been a drover, a member of the clan
  • With runrig in his very soul and nowhere left to stand
  • Now me i'm just a highland boy and cottar was my trade
  • He'd seen me at kildoanan when the black-face came to stay
  • He'd oatcakes and he'd whisky and one foot in the grave
  • For us it's over
  • Bitter tears began to fall as whisky tore away the years
  • From the straths and the braes
  • Forever yesterday
  • The royal george it was that brought the countess to our door
  • She wanted us to leave the hills for crofts upon the moor
  • She took our piece of paradise and left us on the shore
  • For us it's over
  • Bitter tears began to fall as whisky tore away the years
  • From the straths and the braes
  • Forever yesterday
  • They cleared the clans from strathnavar, the heart of sutherland
  • They cleared us from our highland homes by ship to foreign glens
  • There's linton and there's cheviot and red deer on the bens
  • For us it's over, over, over, my friend
