Build me a castle where the rooks wheel and caw
Make it a ruin wi' beauty and a'
Rest there my body but wander my soul
I don't need a reason to look frae the shore
For men who are weary cam hame frae the wars

Dream me an ocean where the waves dinna' fa'
Make it a haven for sailors and a'
Where are the healers to mend what is flawed
Who don't need a reason to look frae the shore
For men who are weary cam hame frae the wars

Fetch me a heather white as the snaw
Make it a wreath for those that i know
All of my tears could nae mak it graw
I don't a reason to look frae the shore
For men who are weary cam hame frae the wars
