Many miles I've walked alone Scarred and blackened clear flies on lines of broken stone The raven skyline so bright and warm Where tears fell on hillside ghosts flickered in the dawn But I was dancing in fire while i faced my mind Oh here’s the thing that go clear my home Fell in love and raised a family there My brothers hearts and ours entwined a while Bound to the call This heavy land felt tender steps each time we rolled headlong Out in the grey Atlantic full of fear Where none can run in my mind Freagh upon the heather Your wild walls of stone Come hell or heavy weather Iridescence, in the cold Been terrified 'Til i knew strong Spinning wildly in the blackness torn apart And liberated all at once I burned my hands Bitten frost out in the reverie The scars now pale and old Adrift and lost in fog eyes wide and awestruck Found a place where i belonged At least for a while Spent a decade in a dream, ever outsider Though my daughter here was born Dear galways child Against the grief the madness of the years Her freedom spun And in my dreams i saw my sister there beyond us all still singing Freagh upon the heather Your wild-walls of stone Come hell or heavy weather Iridescence in the cold Freagh upon the heather Four white walls of home Through all the tears of Winter Safe within your loving arms Don’t you cry my child Fear will move on Your yesterday is dead and tomorrow never knows Mother time forever young These old tires are turning fast i guess we best keep movin’ on Can’t hold onto the past and say the best here’s yet to come, here’s hoping Freagh upon the heather Your wild-walls of stone Come hell or heavy weather Iridescence in the cold Freagh upon the heather Four white walls of home Through all the tears of Winter Safe within your loving arms
