Jamie McPherson Dail Chuinnidh (Meeting Place) lyrics

I spent many a year drinking whisky and gin
I met a young girl and she took me in
I gave her my heart, my soul and my mind
She returned her love to me in kind

Chorus:

With heather and honey and fine highland peat
The waters of Lochan Doire Uaine, the place that we meet
I'll toast to your health, to your life and our love
To the sith below, to the gods above
A year later on the beach that we were wed
A blanket of flowers was our wedding bed
We shared a dream of our life together
Of walking barefoot in the wild mountain heather

Chorus:

With heather and honey and fine highland peat
The waters of Lochan Doire Uaine, the place that we meet
I'll toast to your health, to your life and our love
To the sith below, to the gods above

Nine years have gone by with a life complete
Our pantry is full with bread, cheese and meat
I've made a home with my beautiful wife
And to my joy, you came into our life

Chorus:

With heather and honey and fine highland peat

The waters of Lochan Doire Uaine, the place that we meet
I'll toast to your health, to your life and our love
To the sith below, to the gods above

And now I'm a father of a darling young child
My pride is full and my heart has gone wild
I share a life with the two I love most
A more blessed man could never have boast

Chorus:

With heather and honey and fine highland peat
The waters of Lochan Doire Uaine, the place that we meet
I'll toast to your health, to your life and our love
To the sith below, to the gods above

A song is now over but life never ends
For my wild days I've now made amends
And now a toast to the two that I love
So, pour me a glass and raise it above

Chorus:

With heather and honey and fine highland peat
The waters of Lochan Doire Uaine, the place that we meet
I'll toast to your health, to your life and our love
To the sith below, to the gods above
