The Silvered Charm

[Intro]
[Verse]
The golden sun begins to fall
I hear the distant curlew call
Beside the loch where shadows sleep
A secret that the waters keep
The crannog stones are grey and old
Beneath the moss, a story told
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear her voice within the breeze
A whisper through the rowan trees
She spoke of light beneath the hill
The world is green and very still
[Chorus]
Oh, let the silvered charm awake
A ripple on the quiet lake
The magic in her ancient song
Is where my heavy heart belongs
With every breath of heather mist
A spirit that the stars have kissed
[Post-Chorus]
Carry me home
To the light
In the stone
Through the night
[Verse]
The scent of gorse is in the air
With yellow petals in my hair
I find the token tucked away
A gift from some forgotten day
The silver glints against the blue
A dream that’s finally coming true
[Break]
[Verse]
The water ripples, soft and bright
With bioluminescent light
I touch the edge of something deep
While all the crofters are asleep
My grandmother, she knew the way
To find the gold inside the grey
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear her voice within the breeze
A whisper through the rowan trees
She spoke of light beneath the hill
The world is green and very still
[Chorus]
Oh, let the silvered charm awake
A ripple on the quiet lake
The magic in her ancient song
Is where my heavy heart belongs
With every breath of heather mist
A spirit that the stars have kissed
[Bridge]
Uilleann pipes begin to sigh
Beneath the vast and purple sky
The clarsach hums a gentle prayer
For all the things no longer there
But in my palm, the spark remains
Through winter frost and summer rains
[Verse]
The water glows with inner light
To guide me through the coming night
The crofter’s daughter finds her way
Beyond the borders of the day
I hold the charm, I close my eyes
To where the ancient magic lies
[Chorus]
Oh, let the silvered charm awake
A ripple on the quiet lake
The magic in her ancient song
Is where my heavy heart belongs
With every breath of heather mist
A spirit that the stars have kissed
[Post-Chorus]
Carry me home
To the light
In the stone
Through the night
[Outro]
