Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean. Published by Limetree Arts and Music

Speak your mind she said, but there are words best left alone
Try to be kind she said, for there's no grace in doing wrong
And when you're standing on your highest hill and you shout but no-one hears

CHORUS
You can fall but you must not lie down
You can fall but you must not lie down
And though you're lost in the deep of the fiddle's sweet sound

Pull in your tired wings, there's no need to know it all
Listen how the silence rings now is the time for standing tall
And when you're standing on your highest hill and you shout but no-one hears
CHORUS

Dream on little one there are flowers in your hair
And see what the time has done, scattered diamonds everywhere
And when you're standing on your highest hill and you shout but no-one hears
CHORUS
