Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Mist is thick upon the glen Far away from other men Heavy pack and heavy heart This is where the climb will start Woolen coat against the chill Walking up the stony hill [Pre-Chorus] The eagle circles high above Looking for a sign of love The path is steep and narrow too But I am walking here for you [Chorus] Oh, let the river run its course Back to the ancient hidden source We’ll stand upon the jagged crest And lay your tired soul to rest The granite speaks a holy tongue Of songs we haven’t even sung Yeah, we’re going home at last Breaking shadows from the past [Verse] You had the map, I had the bread "Follow me," is what you said Scraped our knees on Coire Dubh Searching for the hidden clue We were kings of rock and scree Wild and young and finally free [Pre-Chorus] The sky is turning iron gray At the closing of the day But there’s a fire in my chest Putting all my ghosts to rest [Chorus] Oh, let the river run its course Back to the ancient hidden source We’ll stand upon the jagged crest AND lay your tired soul to rest The granite speaks a holy tongue Of songs we haven’t even sung Yeah, we’re going home at last Breaking shadows from the past [Bridge] The sheep are bleating in the fold The stories that our father told Are etched into the very soil The fruit of all our honest toil I’ll scatter you like winter seeds To satisfy the mountain's needs [Instrumental] [Verse] My knees are creaking like the gate But I can’t let the spirit wait The jar is light within my hand The finest dust in all the land One more mile to reach the top I’m never gonna let it stop [Chorus] Oh, let the river run its course Back to the ancient hidden source We’ll stand upon the jagged crest And lay your tired soul to rest The granite speaks a holy tongue Of songs we haven’t even sung Yeah, we’re going home at last Breaking shadows from the past [Post-Chorus] Going home at last From the shadows of the past Yeah, we’re going home No more need to roam [Outro]
