White clouds cover the whole of the earth
Concorde flies through the skies to the States Lifetimes in memory, flesh being born But this is the age of invisible dawn And the man from the government says show me a sign The mood of the moment says have a good time Through stench and starvation, night never falls There's flies on the skeletons, shapes on the wall As I draw my latest breath Amazing things are done on earth And the masters of flattery color the trees They walk on the oceans, put the town under siege The king of humanity sleeps in despair Walking out in the morning with hands in the air There's zealots in anger, divine extremes Emotional half-lives, disposable dreams Rumors of cease-fire inherit the streets This is the war of the pure and the meek As I draw my latest breath Amazing things are done on earth As I draw my latest breath Amazing things are done on earth These days are overgrown in truth Under the sun that's nothing new Flowers still open, flowers still close Rearranged molecules, miracle cures And I can still love you, call you my own Till the blooms turn to doubt, Till the angels come home As I draw my latest breath Amazing things are done on earth As I draw my latest breath Amazing things are done on earth |

When all the world is quiet and still
And doubts run deep as the ocean Through troubled years and broken dreams To the place where all silence has spoken So wonderful, too wonderful So wonderful, too wonderful Immeasurable, invisible The moment golden before me I will walk with you through the beautiful gate My hands and heart wide open So wonderful, too wonderful So wonderful, too wonderful |

Like shadows on the wall
you come and you go through the streets and the rain that falls down on our sin no more good-byes forever this way whenever the greatest flame in the world starts burning this is our life, and our time and nothing, is ever going to break us now we're on our own always in your eyes a waking of souls we gaze out on the road that brought us up to this place the signposts never change we'll go where they lead whenever the day to break us comes we'll not give in this is our life, and our time and nothing, is ever going to break us now we're on our own live the day when the flame is strong live the day when the flame is strong come the day when love is gone take it over, take it over this is our life, and our time and nothing, is ever going to break us now we're on our own this is our place, in our lives and no one can ever change this moment or pull this mountain to the ground this is our life, this is our time and no one can ever change this moment |

There's a place
Where the rocks of Caithness Lie beside the ocean On summer days, a waiting grave In the layers With the pains of generations gone before us Uranium, your age has come There's salt and spray On the beaches of the island that I came from Caesium, the change will come Across the waves From Sellafield you came in unseen wonder A life begun, a chain undone And from the hollow mouths of grey It's the future and it's safe So let the children play Move a mountain Fill the ground Take death on wheels Re-create the land One glance away Civilisation on the streets of California The burning nights, before my eyes Savage times In the courtrooms and the subways of frustration Crucify, crucify 'cause man rules the waves The rock, the road, the lanes And all the cities of the plains Move a mountain Fill the ground Take death on wheels Re-create the land Move a mountain Fill the ground Take death on wheels Re-create the land And we'll all be long blown rushes When all the world's a flame Move a mountain Move a mountain Fill the ground Take death on wheels Re-create the land Move a mountain Fill the ground Take death on wheels Re-create the land |

You can talk the tongue of angels
You can walk the thin white line Raid your hearts imaginations Let your thoughts live and run wild Now all I see is the station And the boats with the sun in their wake Looking out on Scalpay dawning And you drenched in the rain of grace Walked down the pier road to the deep sea It was a long confused embrace But I have seen an awesome beauty I've seen the tears turn to wine on your face And I wondered and I trembled As you held me so close in your arms With a love that held more learning Than I could ever understand Still the grass grows tall in the dream fields, But after all is said and done, The only thing that ever matters Is to love and to be loved Still the grass grows tall in the dream fields But after all is said and done The only thing that ever matters Is to love and to be loved I crossed the big years and the waters For a new and happy land Trading all that fire of living For the fickle and the bland Now I know that there's nothing Can evermore put worth in your time If the spirit never woos Or moves your paths divine Still the grass grows tall in the dream fields But after all is said and done The only thing that ever matters Is to love and to be loved. |

Head of ribbons running down the brae
In the morning, in the morning Barefoot sisters and a milking pail Turning around At the weekend the boats come in From the herring, from the herring Wives and family and the table laid Turning again Forever you'll be eyes of blue In the circle of your youth Picking every blade of truth Down the Newton road War is over and the boys come home From the fighting, from the fighting Love letters and a great unknown Turning again Counting your blessings at the village hall To the dancing, to the dancing A lot of loving and a lot of soul Turning again Forever you'll be eyes of blue In the circle of your youth Picking every blade of truth Down the Newton road You took your beauty and your heart of gold To the altar, to the altar Bound forever in an August vow Turning around The skies of summer shone around your door Little children, little children Three men who couldn't love you more Turning again Forever you'll be eyes of blue In the circle of your youth Picking every blade of truth Down the Newton road One door opens and another closes Oh the parting, oh the parting New arrivals and a family grown Turning around Head of ribbons running down the brae In the morning, in the morning Pulling moments from the clock of faith Turning again Forever you'll be eyes of blue In the circle of your youth Picking every blade of truth Down the Newton road Forever you'll be eyes of blue In the circle of your youth Picking every blade of truth Down the Newton road |

A prairie and a wind
Canada on the wire I'm trading all my fears Runrig And all my desires I watch your sun go down A burning amber road Canada Following te ghosts Wherever they go 'S chan fhaic mi cladach geal Songtexte No achadh cruithneachd 'fas Gun sealladh mor de chradh 'S dealbh de bhas Songtext A window on the stars The journey of the few Watching it all survive Lyrics It's all I can do Translation of gaelic part I didn't see the fertile shore Lyric or the field of growing wheat without looking on former pain Liedertexte and an image of death |

Madainn Di-haoine 's duthaich fo sgoth
'S mi sgith le cuid smalan, mi-mhisneachd is bron Seo an deicheamh la dhan a'Ghiblean 'sinn fo ghruaim a rithist An co-dhunadh a cheannaich na daoine aig pris Tha spiorad nan daoine nas soilleir na ghealach Nas doimhne na'n cuan Geigh sinn ar n-aite 'san t-shaoghal 'S an ginealach ur Ard: blar nan daoine Ard: guth is saorsa Ard: tha sinn gluasad Gu h-ard theid sinn suas 'S iomadh trioblaidtha romhainn 'nis Gaidheal agus Gall 'S mi le aon suil air eachdraidh, aon suil mo chlann Ach cum creideamh nad bheatha, sonas nad chridhe Chan e seo deireadh rathaid ach toiseach linn Tha spiorad nan daoine nas soilleir na ghealach Nas doimhne na'n cuan Geigh sinn ar n-aite 'san t-shaoghal 'S an ginealach ur Ard: blar nan daoine Ard: guth is saorsa Ard: tha sinn gluasad Gu h-ard theid sinn suas (Chorus) Chan urrain dhomh fuireach an taigh 'tha fo sgoth Ach le creideamh is dochas gu deireadh mo la Tha an lasair nad anam aig meadhan do bhith Nas laidir's nas motha na riaghaltas no righ (Chorus) (Chorus) --oOo-- Friday morning and the country is under a cloud But I am tired of sorrow, pessimism, and gloom This is the tenth day of April and we have been let down again The decision that our people have bought at a price The spirit of the people is brighter than the moon Deeper than the ocean We will find our place in the world In a new generation High: The peoples struggle High: A Voice and self-determination High: We are moving We will reach up there Many troubles now confront us, Highlander and Lowlander As I keep one eye on history, one eye on my children, Keep belief in your life, joy in your heart This is not the end of the road, but the start of a new age The spirit of the people is brighter than the moon Deeper than the ocean We will find our place in the world In a new generation High: The peoples struggle High: A Voice and self-determination High: We are moving We will reach up there (Chorus) I can not live in the house of despondency But in faith and in hope till the end of my days The spark in your soul is the centre of your whole existence And it is bigger and stronger than any government or King (Chorus) (Chorus) |
