Fiona Blackburn - Land Of Passages lyrics
rate meChorusOh, take me to the land of passagesGliding on
a distant sea.Set me down beside the sunset-shadowed
skyTo dwell where the eagles fly.
Far away I see the gleaming peaksHov'ring high above
the earth.Silently, in stately majestyThey will usher
out the sunset fading north.
Rank on rank, the sombre cedar treesMarch away their
endless mile.Evergreen, where sight has never seenThey
cover every hill and clothe each solitary isle.
Chorus>From the shore the ravens call my name.
Dusky wings, they wheel and whirl.
Raucous cries, their haunting lullabies,
Like the ancient voices from another world.
Scarlet flames the brilliant columbine.
Sapphire spears the lupine blue.
Buttercups and silver fairy dropsWeave a fragrant carpet
glist'ning in the early morning dew.
Interlude/Chorus>From the deep,
the great leviathanPoints his brow into the air.
Crystal white, it breathes a fountain bright;Then it
plunges back, it's fanning flukes obscure.
Icy blue, the glacier's sculpted cliffsCrumble down
into the bay.Floating ice,
a seal's paradise-And the thund'ring echoes' dialogue
will finally fade away.Chorus
