Lyrics:
Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the lochs meet the sea.
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun.
Ah, the cares of to-morrow can wait 'til this day is done.
Oh, 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.
Ah, the cares of to-morrow can wait 'til this day is done.
Come by the hills to the land where legend remains.
Where stories of old fill the heart and may yet come again.
Where our past has been lost and the future has still to be won.
Ah, the cares of to-morrow can wait 'til this day is done.
