Flower of the West Songtext

von Runrig

Sunburst.
The morning moar.
The lights of God.
The heart of youth.
I look around me.
My eyes find their rest on this garden
The flower of the west.

(Refrain)
The silent skies.
An the 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.

Sunrise.
The colour frontier.
The ageing light.
The sight that knows no fear.
I look over Orinsay to the Trumisgarry shore.
To Aloter. And the road to Ahmore.

(Refrain)
The silent skies.
An the 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.

(Refrain)
The silent skies.
An the 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.
