Lyrics:
away from the Highlands of old
Far away from the Land they called Home
To Nova Scotia...
Newfoundland...
Cape Breton Island...
Ellis...
HEcVEN'S DOOR
Psalm for Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
Words and Music by Kevyn Bashore
Watchin' the sun kiss the sea
From the mountains
summer breeze or in wild winter winds
The home of our hearts, Cape Breton
Over the rooftops and over the trees
Within these new townships, oh what do I
as gentle as the fields
I caress you, oh, Cape Breton in my dreams
And you never let the hard times
Take away your soul
And you stopped the tears from
Sing me a song of your hills
Of mountains and waters so still
A song that will speak of the magic of three
My love, Cape Breton and me
Teach me
often
Oh, how I love you
Sweet east coast island
Oh, how I miss you
My friends and my family, too
Oh, how I love you
Cape Breton, I'll be home soon
as gentle as the fields
I caress you, oh, Cape Breton in my dreams
And you never let the hard times
Take away your soul
And you stopped the tears from
as gentle as the fields
I caress you, oh, Cape Breton in my dreams
And you never let the hard times
Take away your soul
And you stopped the tears from
as gentle as the fields
I caress you, oh, Cape Breton in my dreams
And you never let the hard times
Take away your soul
And you stopped the tears from

But he's
[Chorus]
A guy from old Cape Breton, so lonesome he got stoned
He crawled into
two weeks at a time
Me I’d rather live slowly
My time’s all mine, all mine
Sailed those Cape Breton highlands
Fiddle music so sweet
Then it’s off
by this Cape Breton Mining Song
The last rays of sunshine don't reach the raise
And the company owns you for the rest of your days
You pray that that
Over snow so white
Under northern lights, you can bury me
My memories of Cape Breton
I won't soon be forgetting
Going 'down north' on the
Old
I left Cape Breton on the coal boat for St. John's, Newfoundland|And I met a little girl named Sally|And I took her by the little white hand|She
peak up into heaven
Just to leave you in the lobby (Yeah)
Yall betta act right
I'm bout to take this cape with the H off
Yall betta act right
I'm bout
There's a place I'll always cherish,
'Neath the blue Atlantic sky
Where the shores down in Cape Breton
Bid the golden sun to rise
There's a place I'll always cherish, 'neath the blue Atlantic sky
Where the shores down in Cape Breton bid the golden sun to rise
And the fragrance
wild
Let's Party on this island like it's 1999
Were on the island
You know were wylin
Crazy and styling
Aeroplane high like a pilot
Flying got

It's everywhere I go
From the spirit of the arctic to Cape Breton don't ya know
I'm clways full of wonder
There's no place I'd rather be

wave the cape
Always wonder about my fate, I guess it’s ok ta wait
A lot of shit that I be talking about I really hate to say
I said hey, have no fear
to my right
I thank you for the east coast singer
With maritime blood running through his fingers
His guitar's alive as he plays with pride
I hear Cape
