Take Us Back |
Atop the crags and cliffs the air is thin |
So we’ll find a mountain path on down the hill |
Meet me where the snowmelts flows |
It is there, my dear, where we’ll begin again |
Skipping stones, braiding hair |
Last years antlers mark the trail |
Take us back, Oh! |
take us back, Oh! |
take us: Take us back! |
Take us back, Oh! |
take us back, Oh! |
take us: Take us back! |
I’ve a friend who lives out by the rivers mouth |
He knows the fiddle’s cry is an old sound |
A lonesome bow, the creaks and moans of empty houses |
Are songs like falling rain |
Wind blown buildings, muddy ground |
The strength of water can sink a man |
Take us back, Oh! |
take us back, Oh! |
take us: Take us back! |
Take us back, Oh! |
take us back, Oh! |
take us: Take us back! |
When the higher hills have turned to blue |
And the waves are lapping where the children grew |
All that we have known will be an echo |
Of days when love was true |
Muted voices, just beyond |
The silent surface of what has gone |
