[Verse]
Your hair's a flame on the Shetland breeze
Blazing wild like the autumn trees
The ocean hums your melody
But it won't carry you back to me
[Chorus]
Redhead on the Shetland wind
Your laugh
Your love
Where do I begin
Every mile stretches paper-thin
Redhead
Come home again
[Verse 2]
I write my words in the salty sand
But the tide sweeps through
Takes my hand
A thousand waves and a thousand sighs
Can't cross the sea or reach your skies
[Prechorus]
The gulls scream your name
The stars burn the same
[Chorus]
Redhead on the Shetland wind
Your laugh
Your love
Where do I begin
Every mile stretches paper-thin
Redhead
Come home again
[Bridge]
I’ll chase the sun through the stormy foam
I'll mend the map that leads you home
Tie every cloud to a northern star
No distance too far
