AThe light is on me
AAll time is here
     GI'm going down to Clachan
    DTo stem the rush of years
ABig sky above me
APowerlines overhead
       GI get lifted up enraptured
        DI keep falling at your feet
Am                DI'm looking over colourfields
AmPast the white sands
         C        DAnd our human years
G         D/F#        EmAnd it's all waiting here
Am            F     C    G    ABreaking the seed

 

CHORUS

D              EmIt's coming again
               CGathering the wind
               G      A     Returning to claim a harvest
D                    Em                       I'm lifted where I stand
                     COn the never-ending land
                 G        A    DI'm coming to a sense of home


Spoken verse 2
Asus2Air an oidhche bha sluagh mor a-staigh agus bha

againn ri dhol suas gu taigh Neil airson tuilleadh
              Gsus2Sheidhrichean. Tha an teaghlach uile dhachaidh
                             Asus2A-neisd. A' suidhe air an staidhre a coimhead air an

Uinneag. A' gheallach, an Crogaire, Loch an Aonghais.
Gsus2Fhad's a bha Ruairidh Sheumais a' gabhail na leabhraichean.

Tha gnothaichean caran mun aon rud.



AWind through the barley
AYour early dream
  GA rising choir of birdsong
      DYour fields of summer green
AIt's all passing over
AI've no complaints
       GWe're just a row of unlit candles
DWaiting at the gate of saints
Am                 DI'm living on the borderline
AmBetween the moment
         C          DAnd the shining miles
G     D/F#           EmThe far stretching stones
Am                    F   C  G  AAll the lines of the sown

D              EmIt's coming again
               CGathering the wind
               G      A     Returning to claim a harvest
D                    Em                       I'm lifted where I stand
                     COn the never-ending land
                 G        A    DI'm coming to a sense of home


D                     EmThe light of ancient shine
                  COn your ordinary lives
                      G         AWe joyed went to the fires of harvest
D               EmSo open up the land
             COpen up the sand
            G        A    D   DReturning again in Clachan
