Song Of The Earth |
It was winter on the Mersey |
Snow was falling on New York |
The boats were coming in from Ireland |
A nation drinking round the docks |
What do you do when the rain is falling |
What do you do when the rain is falling down |
Young men were heading back to Europe |
Rocking the Reeperbahn at night |
We watched the airwaves over Eval |
Angels were dancing in the light |
What do you do when the sun is sinking |
What do you do when the sun is sinking low |
The chains, slaves, praise and gospel |
Burn like the sun in tortured mouths |
A hurricane blew out of Memphis |
Revolution in the south |
What do you do when the sun is beating |
What do you do when the sun is beating down |
Spirits drink the milk of nations |
Singing freedom and release |
Cries of mercy rise like rockets |
Trough the paths of the redeemed |
What do you do when the guns are turning |
What do you do when the guns are turning round |
What do you do |
Sing a song of the earth |
Song the earth |
Song the earth |
A singer in my bloodstream |
Stayed mainline all my life |
His voice filled my Atlantic |
A Celtic fire, a soul of white |
What do you do when your homes are burning |
What do you do when your homes are burning down |
He wore the beauty of his people |
Came to tell it to the world |
Human tears, human oceans |
The greatest song I’ve ever heard |
What do you do when your hope is raging |
What do you do when your hope is raging strong |
It was winter on the Mersey |
Through the museum on the docks |
Through my years, through my failures |
To where the white piano stood |
What do you do when the rain is falling |
What do you do when the rain is falling down |
Saw all the singers of the Gaidhealtachd |
And all the world could understand |
I heard, maybe I’m a dreamer |
I was not the only one |
What do you do when the song you’re singing |
What do you do when the song you’re singing’s gone |
What do you do when the song you’re singing |
What do you do when the song you’re singing’s gone |
Song the earth |
Sing a song of the earth |
Song the earth |
Song the earth |
Sing a song of the earth |
Song the earth |
