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
