Gifts of Unknown Things Songtext

von Jim Capaldi

Lights beneath the water defy you to explain.
The secrets to the universe in every drop of rain.
Every sound has colour we no longer hear or see.
Imprisoned by our reason though we think that we are free.

So you walk the path that once was trod
By wise and ancient kings.
Searching in the mists of time
for gifts of unknown things.

Child of the islands, sister to the winds
When she dances before you
She shows you where life begins.
She speaks in many colours.
The Dolphin is her friend.
She calls to him and he swims to her.
Your reason begins to bend.

So you walk the path that once was trod
By wise and ancient kings.
Searching in the mists of time
for gifts of unknown things.

White horse on the hillside. Dragons in the earth.
Symbols of the ancient ways
Nobody knows what they're worth.
Standing stones in circles. Their magic holds the key.
Fixed along the ley lines
Guarding the great mystery.

So you walk the path that once was trod
By wise and ancient kings.
Searching in the mists of time
for gifts of unknown things.
