DescriptionI have been writing lyrics and have music for many years and I have music for them in my head. I have been writing since I was a teenager. I have published a book with lyrics and poems that I have written over the years. It would be great to have someone who could write the music down and helping compose more songs that we could release on line or through a publishing company.

Lyrics

Genres: Country

From the sweet Scottish rain a river wends it's way, 
From the hills up above to a low lying bay,
You can stand there and watch the passing of the day,
As the river in its moods moves far far away

Oh I love dear old Scotland the place that I call home,
Yes I love dear old Scotland no matter where I roam,
And my hearts turning back to the land that I love best,
And my hearts turning back and in Scotland it will rest.

All around are the hills that sweep down to the sea,
Where the ocean meets the river and the birds fly free,
With the sunlight on the water and the seagulls o'er the sea, 
It's a picture on a postcard of the land that beckons me,

Oh I love dear old Scotland the place that I call home, 
Yes I love dear old Scotland no matter where I roam, 
And my hearts turning back to the land that I love best 
And my hearts turning back and in Scotland it will rest, 

It's a land that's told in song by the wise men who can see, 
It's a land of the strong, it's a land of the free, 
And the passing of the years they don't mean much to me, 
As long as thire in Scotland in a place down by the sea, 

Oh I love dear old Scotland the place that I call home, 
Yes I love dear old Scotland no matter where I roam, 
And my hearts turning back to the land that I know best, 
And my hearts turning back and in Scotland it will rest.
