about

a more gentle sound, inspired by the Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands. I would file alongside the Waterboys

lyrics

I've been called away by my own name
In another's tongue, somehow familiar
One moment of beauty
Looking at land and sea
I lost my identity
Found stillness within me

Unguided by Man but by the distant seas of fate
The love of the Earth in this special place
But there's so much more to the land
when the spirit sees
The whole world within me
