[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
