The Cutter Lyrics - Party On The Moor: 40th Anniversary Concert Live - Runrig

When you arrived in Canada you walked the streets 

Out of work out of money, prospects bleak 

Now the plane comes down from the morning sky 

And you touch the land where the fire won't die 

Johnny, you're home, man 

It's a long road 

You drove us down 

It's only a moment 

Since the diesels turned 

Now the blade cuts clean through the island soil 

The years roll back and the world grows small 

You stand on the banks in the wind and the rain 

And all of your money now can't hide this pain 

So you hold your mother and you bless the air 

With the tears of the emigrant, tongue of the Gael 

And the plane takes off in a clear blue sky 

Life's a long lost list of last goodbyes

The heath flame is burning bright 

Burning every night 

It's winter in Ontario 

The wheels that turned us village kids 

Still carry through the heaths 

They no longer turn for you
