Description
“Looking round and I wonder where I am,
While I’m stuck in the daily traffic jam.
I decide to get out and leave the world behind me.
Everywhere there are people passing by,
Empty faces with not a friendly smile.
Under stress, lonliness, a part of our city.

Now finally, I’ve decided,
I will leave it all behind,
And discover something better,
And I know where I will find,
Find a place of harmony, of laughter and of dreams.
If you want me, that’s where I’ll be.

I’ll be waiting on the Highland,
With its wonderful serenity.
Where the stars glow, and the brooks flow.
That’s my way of life.
On the mountains of the Highland,
And the nature is surrounding me.
When the wind blows, that’s all I need, all I need.

On the Highland when I was a child,
I would play with my friends and we were wild.
We all loved the moors, the nature and its freedom.
And we went for ghost hunts out in the mist.
I remember the first time I got kissed
By the shy neighbour guy who whispered ‘be my girlfriend.’

Then I longed for some excitement,
So I travelled round the world.
After that I settled down and
I became a city girl.
Went out dancing every night and lived intensively.
Now I know it’s not a life for me.

On the Highland, on the Highland, you will see.

If you join me I can promise you’ll stay until eternity."

('Highland' - Blackmore's Night)

The only art I've really had any time for! Half-done last month, and after some tinkering the other day I finished it as a break from work. I got the new Blackmore’s Night album ‘Autumn Sky’ the other day and I love it; this is inspired by the opening song.

Hope you like it!
