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
