[In the style of Eddie Reader/Amy Macdonald] [Verse 1] It wouldn't take a thousand ships To get myself to you And I know I'd never make it With a paddle and canoe I'd build myself something small and strong For these Scottish seas to cross Over every isle and through every storm Whatever might be lost But sometimes when I think out loud This dream can go too far I have stretched my hands above me Trying hard to catch a star [Pre-Chorus] Tomorrow is another day With plans that start anew I'm trying hard to build my life Without leaning hard on you [Chorus] For the hard times have been plenty And the bad times even more But you helped to chase the shadows From the Bogeyman at my door And though I know I have to stand And find my strength once more These dreams we've made have kept me going When I couldn't see the shore [Verse 2] If you'd left me by the roadside The twice you found me there Lost, bewildered, frightened You somehow always cared Your words were warm and tender Like a breath of Scottish air And every time I hit the panic switch I knew that you'd be there You taught me things I never knew You showed me love could be Something I could hold onto Something I could finally see And if this road should carry on Then let it be with you For every dream I ever had Somehow came back to you [Chorus] But I know right now I have to stand And learn to walk alone Though every road I dream about Still seems to lead me home And maybe all the plans we made Were never meant to fade For they kept a little light alive When I was most afraid [Bridge] So now it's time to wake up This may be a dream too far My arms, my body and my heart Can't always reach a star And knowing that is breaking me It's the hardest step to take I've got to save my sanity Before my heart should break But I won't walk away from love Just because the road is long For this heart of mine still tells me That somehow you're the one My trusty champion, stay beside me Even if we walk apart Some roads are meant for wandering Before they lead back to the heart [Final Chorus] So tomorrow is another day And I'll face it standing tall I'll carry every dream we've made Even if I lose them all For somewhere past these Scottish seas Beyond each distant shore There may be paths we've never walked And dreams we've never known before [Outro] And maybe one fine day again We'll find that road somehow Two sets of footsteps side by side With no need to ask where or how The new paths waiting for us Could be more than we can see For if there's love still held in store Then maybe there is you and me.
