Runrig
Flower of the West
from "The Big Wheel", 1991
lyrics by Calum Macdonald
music by Rory Macdonald
--

Sunburst, on 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 west

The silent skies, an innocent heart
Hold the moment away from time in the dark
All I see, all I know
Is touching the sacred earth and warming the hallowed ground

Walk on
Walk on

Sunrise, the colour frontier
The aging light, the sight that knows no fear
I look over Orinsay to the Trumisgarry shore
To Aloter and the road to Ahmore

The silent skies, an innocent heart
Hold 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 Eaval
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

The silent skies, an innocent heart
Hold the moment away from time in the dark
All I see, all I know
Is touching the sacred earth and warming the hallowed ground

The silent skies, an innocent heart
Hold the moment away from time in the dark
All I see, all I know
Is touching the sacred earth and warming the hallowed ground
