I see the mountains, feel the salt air I have reasons to behold All the wonders that never cease to be You're as timeless as the water You're 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 falling As you watched the young ones go You're as peaceful as a clear day You're as rugged as the seas I caress you, oh, Cape Breton in my dreams And home I'll be Home I'll be Banish thoughts of leaving Home I'll be I see the blue lakes, feel the passion I have reasons to believe There are places that will bring you to your knees I hear voices they are calling I have reason to pay heed I caress you, oh, Cape Breton in my dreams And you kept your arms wide open To let your children know Wherever there is distance The heart is always home You're as soulful as a choir You're as ancient as the hills I caress you, oh, Cape Breton in my dreams And home I'll be Home I'll be Banish thoughts of leaving Home I'll be And home I'll be Home I'll be Banish thoughts of leaving Home I'll be Banish thoughts of leaving Home I'll be
