Flower in the West Songtext

von Runrig

Sunburst, oh, the morning moar
The light of God, the heart of youth
I look around me, my eyes find their rest
On this garden, oh, the flower of the west

The silent skies, an innocent heart
Holding the moment away from time in the dark
All I see, all I know
Is touching the sacred earth, warming the hallowed ground

[Incomprehensible]

Sunrise, the color frontier
The aging light, the sight that knows no fear
I look over Orinsay to the Trumisgarry shore
To Aloter and the road to Ahmore

The silent skies, an innocent heart
Holding the moment away from time in the dark
All I see, all I know
Is touching the sacred earth and warming the hallowed ground

I survive the childhood universe
And I step the naked heath
Where the breathing of the vanished
Lies in acres 'round my feet

Past Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada
And the flatlands to the east
Where the dark blue mass of Eval
Meets the rising Rock of Lee

Between the Crogary and Mairi
I started to descend
Loch Aongais on my left hand side
I look across to Clett

Collies barking on the outrun
Dunlin dancing on the sand
Breakers show 'round Corran Vallique
And empty, the Atlantic on the strand

The silent skies, an innocent heart
Holding the moment away from time in the dark
All I see, all I know
Is touching the sacred earth, warming the hallowed ground

The silent skies, an innocent heart
Holding the moment away from time in the dark
All I see, all I know
Is touching the sacred earth, warming the hallowed ground
