Song: "The Far Side of the World" by Tidelines
***
Author's Note: I recently discovered this song and band and have been sustained over the past year and a half with their music and the music that I have found through them. This music speaks to my soul in ways only a "highlander" might understand. I hope you enjoy the song and the poem it inspired.
***
Oh, how the music makes me sway
And the lyrics carry me away
I feel the smile tugging at my lips
As the rhythm catches my hips
***
I see myself on those shores faraway
I reach out as my fingers find the way
A message carried by the wind
As time and space to me bends
***
Though your home is a stranger to me
It's the place my heart longs to be
All these many miles between us
I feel them in the moments of silence
***
But your song reaches out to me
And I know it's the same sky you see
I look up and see you in the stars
And I know exactly where you are
***
One day, I know we will stand together
Never to be parted from each other
Until that day comes, I will sway
And let your lyrics carry me away
***
