Lyrics -
          Shian Road      
      Will you walk the Shian road again 
        And gaze out from Ardselma across the wooded glen 
        To see the Cregan mist burn off the ben 
      And will you walk the Shian road again       
      Chorus 
        So hard the leaving 
        So hard the leaving the hills and the glens 
        So strong the feeling. 
        So strong the feeling he'd never return 
        To Shian again 
      The young man raced the sun across the sky 
        But older now he stopped there, the breeze a gentle sigh 
        I heard it whisper, "Stay my father stay 
      And walk the lonely Shian road today" 
      Remember when the days burned long and bright 
        But now the night is falling and by its fading light 
        I'll take you to the highlands again 
        And walk the lonely Shian road again       Shian Road
