lyrics
On Rossal plain where the heather grows,
I left my heart in the fields we sowed,
To my highland home no more I'll go,
On Rossal plain, on Rossal plain.
My clan have always tilled this land,
And my bairns and I to it's glens were bound,
Until Sellar's men did our homes burn down,
On Rossal plain, on Rossal plain,
When the factor came as darkness fell,
With eight strong men for our fight to quell,
And to board the doors and us expel,
No more my home, no more my home.
All through the night we walked the land,
From hearth to hearth for one kind hand,
But no help would come, for fear stalked the land,
No haven here, no haven here.
From thence we came to these foreign shores,
We are exiled here by their savage laws,
But I'll have you know that my heart's forever yours,
Land of my birth, land of my birth.
And in my mind I'll stake my claim,
And I'll walk the fields of Syre again,
And when I die may my body be lain,
On Rossal plain, on Rossal plain.

This is such a wonderful album. Superb songs and singing. The track Dwelling by the Weir brings to mind Joni Mitchell, it is that good. Favourite track is Waking up to Stone. Fabulous! dorsetmorriarty
