“NOW I'M HOME Lyric: Life has been to me, so.. bittersweet, and often mentally, wounds to treat (repeat), helpless as a newborn-lamb - needing fed! I hydeleigh, I hodeleigh, I yodeleigh high-low (x3); Now I’m Home (repeat) Memories of the field, Haunt and delight, but no joy healed, Cured this blight (repeat), Friends lost along the way – need no abode! I hydeleigh, I hodeleigh, I yodeleigh high-low (x3); Now I’m Home (repeat) [Instrumental] But I will rise again, from these fears, and your trust regain, with my tears (repeat), And all in heaven hear me now - singing loud, praising God, singing proud! I hydeleigh, I hodeleigh, I yodeleigh high-low (x3); Now I’m Home (repeat); Now I’m Home (x3) I hydeleigh, I hodeleigh, I yodeleigh high-low [Instrumental] Now.. I’m.. Home....!”

“It Hurts To Say Goodbye Missing you already, it’s only been two days, Besides, we’ve both been here before, Still hurts to take my turn, find words to say goodbye, It hurts to say goodbye. Chorus It hurts to say goodbye, bid our fond farewell, Acknowledge one more curtain call.. It hurts to say goodbye, our hearts in pain know well, It hurts to say goodbye. No one taught me more, mistakes I made forgave, God knows you tried your best before. I’ll always feel your love, even laid out in my grave, It hurts to say goodbye. I hear the final bell, its toll rings out for me, The time has come to fly – adore, Strength and grace I find, forgive this last farewell. It hurts to say goodbye. We met, fell in love, you were my joy in life. More was never meant to be, Perhaps I’ll walk again, with you in the afterlife. It hurts to say goodbye. Still loving your smile, recalling times of guile, I’ll always see your eyes, afore, I close my fading own, your love still comforts while, We say our last goodbyes. Chorus It hurts to say goodbye, bid our fond farewell, Acknowledge one more curtain call.. It hurts to say goodbye, our hearts in pain know well, It hurts to say goodbye. It hurts to say goodbye. ”

“Riding Drovers’ Roads – Celebrating Cameron Ormiston © 2012 One hundred years between them, riding ancient routes. Droving Highland cattle, they’re on the drovers’ roads. Against a moody backdrop; cloudy skies and snow capped mountains, Travelling companions, frae Skye tae Strathearn. At least they hinnae Jacobites tae fear; just chilling winds, peat bogs ‘n sleety rain. You’re sure to find your share; riding drovers’ roads. His eighteen year, Highland steed; Blue, affectionately named, Noire of Croila, was bred in rider’s stud. This fine grey mare will fondly follow her tweed-plaid-ride in any weather, Fillies know’n' his history, think him part stallion! At eighty-two he still rides bareback ably - in deerstalker, or riding a deer saddle. Memories keep you warm; riding drovers’ roads. To the Highland Way, they’re heided doon The Devil’s Staircase; Plenty jeopardy and danger, found around Glen Coe. Ormiston’s the man tae hae, o’er the Highland plains or The Rob Roy Way; Non-phased Errol Flynn films withThe Griffalo. Cam’ has T-shirts for The Missionary, Highlander, Chasing ‘i Deer and Rob Roy. Lifetime of experience; riding drovers’ roads. Tae some a living legend, Hielan kindness redefined, He hisnae lost his talent frae The Balivil Hotel. A man’s man, a ladies man, he’s broke mare hearts than a’ his bones. Happy wi a bullring crowd, or stalkin’ on his own. Show President o‘ Highland ponies; Trekking pioneer, toasts Diamond Jubilee! Aye ready for a Ceilidh; riding drovers’ roads. Originating champion of local skiing, and tourism, Therein at the start of The Aviemore Centre. A hair’s breadth from a Highland Chief, weel, Highland Councillor a while, Revered equine judge, and aye of people tae. Nae blushin’ noo he’s joking wi’ Her Majesty; mutual statesmanlike revere. Olympia’s win, trophies, pride; riding drovers’ roads. Cameron’s a man apart, we’d all need years to tell our part; His family an’ friends, and doubtless, even toons. Lovable, with a heart of gold, beating under frank wise words, Dear friend o’ my dad, who awaits a Pearly Tryst. He taught me how to stalk Red Deer; his road and door is open tae me aye. Till Telford’s future comes; riding drovers’ roads. Till Telford’s future comes; he’s riding drovers’ roads. Till Telford’s future comes; we’re riding drovers’ roads. ”

“A More Rewarding Stage © 2012 Swiftly, see the years are flying by, All too soon we’re passing fifty years. Last chance saloon to buck those fears, Fight or flight, don’t let them amble by. Grasp your life, relish each new day, Treasure friends, your kin, don’t you forget. Add delight to every new duet, Might or slight, respect! Love every day. Fellow-man needs help along the way, Kindness shared returns to you in spades. Reach out before the moment fades, Sight of plight, demands our empathy. Chorus Sack the TV pacifier and self-indulgent entertainment, Free your adventurer, seize a second chance. Saved from a fruitless scrapheap or a pointless retirement; Stimulate your energies, and humanity engage! Social lives should thrive on a more rewarding stage, Yes, our world needs a more rewarding stage. Yes, my world needs a more rewarding stage. ”
