The Peat Fire Flame Songtext
von Kenneth McKellar

Far away and o′er the moor

Far away and o'er the moor
Moura waits for a boat that saileth
Far away down lowland way
I dream the dream I learned, lad

By the light o′ the peat-fire flame
Light for love, for lilt, o' grailed deeds
By the light o' the peat-fire flame
The light the hill folk yearn for

Far away down lowland way


Far away down lowland way
Grim′s the toil without song or dream, lad
All you need′s a creel and love
For the dream the heart can weave, lad

By the light o' the peat-fire flame
Light for love, for lilt, for laughter
By the light o′ the peat-fire flame
The light the hill folk yearn for

Far away and o'er the moor

Far away the tramp and tread
Tune and laughter of all the heroes
Pulls me onward o′er the trail
Of the dream my heart may weave, lad

By the light o' the peat-fire flame
Light for love, for lilt, for laughter
By the light o′ the peat-fire flame
The light the hill folk yearn for
