Sep. 15th, 2011 10:45 pmAway to the westward I'm longing to be,
Where the beauties of heaven unfold by the sea;
Where the sweet purple heather blooms fragrant and free,
On a hilltop high above the Dark Island.
Oh, isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee,
As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree;
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me,
When I'm back once more upon the Dark Island.
Это ближе к оригиналу, но я еще очень люблю Олдфилдовский вариант
