In darkness we do what we can
|
In daylight we're oblivion
|
Our hearts so raw and clear
|
Are turning away, turning away from here
|
|
On the water we have walked
|
Like the fearless child
|
What was fastened we've unlocked
|
Revealing wondrous wild
|
And in search of confirmation
|
We have jumped into the fire
|
And scrambled with our burning feet
|
Through uncontrolled desire
|
|
In darkness we do what we can
|
In daylight we're oblivion
|
Our hearts so raw and clear
|
Are turning away, turning away from here
|
|
There's a well upon the hill
|
From our ancient past
|
Where an age is standing
|
Still holding strong and fast
|
And there's those that try to tame it
|
And to carve it into stone
|
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
|
However hard they're thrown
|
|
In darkness we do what we can
|
In daylight we're oblivion
|
Our hearts so raw and clear
|
Are turning away, turning away from here
|
|
By Loch Etive they have worked
|
With their highland dreams
|
By Kilcrennan they have nourished
|
In the mountain streams.
|
And in searching for acceptance
|
They had given it away
|
Only the children of their children know
|
The price they had to pay
|
|
In darkness we do what we can
|
In daylight we're oblivion
|
Our hearts so raw and clear
|
Are turning away, turning away from here
|
