When you go will you send back a letter from America?   Take a look up the rail track from Miami to Canada      Well broke off from my work the other day   Spent the evening thinking about all the blood that flowed away   Across the ocean to the second chance   I wonder how it go on when it reached the promised land      When you go will send back a letter from America?   Take a look up the rail track from Miami to Canada      I've looked at the ocean tried hard to imagine   The way you felt the day you sailed from Wester Ross to Nova Scotia   We should have held you, we should have told you   But you know our sense of timing we always wait too long      When you go will you send back a letter from America?   Take a look up the rail track from Miami to Canada      Lochaber no more, Sutherland no more   Lewis no more, Skye no more   Lochaber no more, Sutherland no more   Lewis no more, Skye no more   Lochaber no more, Sutherland no more   Lewis no more, Skye no more      I wonder my blood will you ever return   To help us kick the life back to a dying mutual friend?   Do we not love her I think we all tell you about   Do we have to roam the world to prove how much it hurts?      When you go will you send back a letter from America?   Take a look up the rail track from Miami to Canada      Bathgate no more, Linwood no more   Methil no more, Irvine no more   Bathgate no more, Linwood no more   Methil no more, Irvine no more      Bathgate no more, Linwood no more   Methil no more, Irvine no more   Bathgate no more, Linwood no more   Methil no more, Lochaber no more
