Runrig - Big Sky lyrics

rate me

<b>Big Sky</b> by <i>Runrig</i><br />he light is on me<br />

All time is here<br />

I'm going down to Clachan<br />

To stem the rush of years<br />

Big sky above me<br />

Powerlines overhead<br />

I get lifted up enraptured<br />

I keep falling at your feet<br />

I'm looking over colour fields<br />

Past the white sands<br />

And our human years<br />

And it's all waiting here<br />

Breaking the seed<br />

<br />

It's coming again<br />

Gathering the wind<br />

Returning to claim a harvest<br />

<br />

I'm lifted where I stand<br />

On the never-ending land<br />

I'm coming to a sense of home<br />

<br />

Wind through the barley<br />

Your early dream<br />

A rising choir of birdsong<br />

Your fields of summer green<br />

It's all passing over<br />

I've no complaints<br />

We're just a row of unlit candles<br />

Waiting at the gate of saints<br />

I'm living on the borderline<br />

Between the moment<br />

And the shining miles<br />

The far stretching stones<br />

All the lines of the sown<br />

<br />

It's coming again<br />

Gathering the wind<br />

Returning to claim a harvest<br />

<br />

I'm lifted where I stand<br />

On the never-ending land<br />

I'm coming to a sense of home<br />

<br />

The light of ancient shine<br />

On your ordinary lives<br />

We joyed went to the fires of harvest<br />

<br />

So open up the land<br />

Open up the sand<br />

Returning again in Clachan
