Burning Horizons Lyrics by Wolfstone

Burning Horizons

1993

[Verse 1]
Leaving now for Nova Scotia
My homeland's kindred isle
Always an arm so far apart
We span the silver miles
In search of work, I come to you
As our fathers did before
On white-sailed ships we packed our lives and left
We left our native shore

[Verse 2]
The ships they anchor side by side
Our brave new world is here
Spirits higher than they've been
For many, many years
In search of work, I come to you
As our fathers did before
Across the dark and briny seas to find
Your nativе shore

[Chorus]
In the burning horizon
Feeds a fire
Smoky hеadland, darkest isle
Staring seaward, deepest ocean
Over tide

Oh, in the burning horizon
Feeds a fire
Smoky headland, darkest isle
Staring seaward, deepest ocean
Over tide

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Struggle's hard for seven months
Our travels take us far
Desperate times we then endure
Until America
From there to Spain, then on again
For another war to fight
I'm dreaming of my own homeland far from
Far from this weary light

[Verse 4]
Coming home from Canada
And I'm coming home from Spain
I've been to America
And I'm coming home again
Spying Ross's darkest isle
The patchwork fields of green
Along the view to where my heart
Will always be

[Chorus]
In the burning horizon
Feeds a fire
Smoky headland, darkest isle
Staring seaward, deepest ocean
Ohhhhh

In the burning horizon
Feeds a fire
Smoky headland, darkest isle
Staring seaward, deepest ocean
Over tide
