Tommy Makem Come By The Hills
Come by the hills to a land where fancy is free
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the lochs
reach the sea
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the
sun
And the cares of tomorrow must wait 'til this day is
done.
Come by the hills to the land where life is a song
And sing while the birds fill the air with their joy all
day long
Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in
tune
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done.
Come by the hills to a land where legend remains
Where stories of old stir the heart and may yet come
again
Where our past has been lost and the future has still to
be won
And the cares of tomorrow must wait 'til this day is
done.
Come by the hills to a land where fancy is free
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the lochs
reach the sea
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the
sun
And the cares of tomorrow must wait 'til this day is
done.
