Runrig - Big Sky Lyrics






The light is on me
All time is here
I'm going down to Clachnan
To stem the rush of years
Big sky above me
Powerline overhead
I get lifted up enraptured
I keep falling at your feet
I'm looking over colour fields
Past the white sands
And our human years
And it's all waiting here
Breaking the seed

It's coming again
Gathering the wind
Returning to claim a harvest
I'm lifted where I stand
On the never-ending land
I'm coming to sense of home

Wind through the barley
Your early dream
A rising choir of birdsong
Your fields of summer green
It's all passing over
I've no complains
We're just a row of unlit candles
Waiting the gate of saints
I'm living on the borderline
Between the moment
And the shining miles
The far streching stones
All the lines of the sown

It's coming again
Gathering the wind
Returning to claim a harvest
I'm lifted where I stand
On the never-ending land
I'm coming to sense of home

The light of ancient shine
On your ordinary lives
We joyed went to the lines of harvest

So open up the land
Open up the sand
Returning again in Clachnan

    It is favorite music. This version is the first :)

  2. S.... s....

    To think that song came from Rory as he attended a family funeral just above clachen sands on the island of usit thus the reference to open up the ground open up the sand. Returing again just a row of unlite candles waitting at the gate of saints. A reference to the grave stones of those who lay in the grave yard

    I absolutely love Runrigs music - too bad they never play in Sweden! I have been a fan since late 80's and listen to them every day. Bruce's voice is absolutely amazing - wish I had been at this concert - but have it on dvd. =)

  15. 1.... ....

    Wundervoll....Wonderful

  16. g.... ....

    it was in 2003 when they played at Tønder..

  17. g.... ....

    what can I say, it was the first time I saw them and didn't know what was coming :D

  18. g.... ....

    Of course I was, didn't know what to do of myself! My friend didn't have internet when it happened so I had to feed her with all the information I could find, it was a very odd time.. We agreed we'd do everything we could to show him how happy we were that he was back the next time we saw him, so we also made a big poster saying 'Welcome Back'. He looked very happy when he saw it.

  19. g.... ....

    I'm going to see them this year at Tønder, simply can't wait! this time of course nn front row, last time I was actually sitting down!

  20. g.... ....

    There's a reason why Denmark is their second home :D we just adore these guys :P

  21. g.... ....

    I would so love to meet him, I'm a big fan of him and his guitarplaying. I was so shocked when he fell ill, first concert after I was up front and gave him a bucket of roses :D

  22. g.... ....

    I envy you! What's he like?? I've heard he should be a great guy :D

  23. D.... ....

    From 5:05 to 5:45 it just sounds amazing..

  24. p.... ....

    Malcolm Jones is the man... Wish they'd play this again during their tour :)
