Flower of the West - Runrig

Flower of the West Lyrics

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 westThe 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 AhmoreThe 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 groundI survive the childhood universe
And I step the naked heath
Where the breathing of the vanished
Lies in acres 'round my feetPast Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada
And the flatlands to the east
Where the dark blue mass of Eval

Meets the rising Rock of LeeBetween the Crogary and Mairi
I started to descend
Loch Aongais on my left hand side
I look across to ClettCollies barking on the outrun
Dunlin dancing on the sand
Breakers show 'round Corran Vallique
And empty, the Atlantic on the strandThe 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 groundThe 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
