Across the street, the river runs Down in the gutter, life is slipping away Let me still exist in another place Running undercover of a helicopter blade The flames are getting higher in effigy Burning down the bridges of my memory Love may still be alive somewhere, some day Where they're downing only deer A hundred steel towns away Oh, the rhythm of my heart Is beating like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue No, never will I roam For I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing Photographs and kerosene Light up my darkness, light it up, light it up I can still feel the touch Of your thin blue jeans Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby, oh baby Oh, the rhythm of my heart Is beating like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue No, never will I roam For I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing (bis) Oh, I've got lightning in my veins Shifting like the handle of a slot machine Love may still exist in another place I'm just yanking back the handle, no expression on my face Oh, the rhythm of my heart Is beating like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue Oh, never will I roam For I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing The rhythm of my heart Is beating like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue Never will I roam For I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing

A versão de Rod Stewart foi produzida por Trevor Horn e abriu o álbum *Vagabond Heart* de 1991.
O single foi lançado em 4 de março 1991 pela Warner e alcançou o nº 3 na parada britânica e o nº 5 no Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA.
Na parada canadense e irlandesa a música chegou ao primeiro lugar, tornando‑se um dos maiores sucessos de Stewart naquele período.
A melodia e a estrutura lírica foram adaptadas da tradicional canção escocesa “Loch Lomond”, incluindo o uso de gaitas de foles das Terras Altas.
Embora inicialmente gravada por René Shuman em 1986, a gravação de Stewart foi a que popularizou mundialmente a canção.
