| It takes a long time to get over there
|
| Nearly seven hours in the air
|
| But if that’s where my love lies waiting for me
|
| Then seven hours it’ll have to be
|
| So I’ll pack my bags and leave this place
|
| With no money in my pocket but a smile on my face
|
| I’ll leave the key on a plate by the door
|
| Cos I don’t know that
|
| I’ll be comin' back here any more
|
| Cos I’m lookin' for a long time love
|
| Oh yeah I’m lookin' for a long time love
|
| I’m gonna find those eyes, see that look
|
| Paste back the pages in the record book
|
| He took my heart, stole my soul
|
| Dipped me into the sugar bowl
|
| And before he traveled to his land
|
| He smiled at me and took my hand
|
| Said Baby Baby come be with me
|
| Come flyin' over the briny sea
|
| It takes a long time to get over there
|
| Nearly seven hours in the air
|
| But if that’s where my love lies waiting for me
|
| Then seven hours it’ll have to be
|
| Cos I’m lookin' for a long time love
|
| Oh yeah I’m lookin' for a long time love
|
| So air and water, earth and fire
|
| Carry me safe to my desire
|
| Never make me further roam
|
| From my most beloved newfound home
|
| Oh Lord above who knowest all
|
| Who seest even the sparrow’s fall
|
| Bless my journey, fly with me
|
| From the brave hills of Scotland
|
| To the land of the free
