+ From The North
From the north came a warrior
Baring burdens dark and deep
I've a will and I've a wanting
And miles to go before I sleep

I have horses in my stable
I have sons fit to fight
I will bring this to your table
If you ride with me this night

From the north came a warrior
Baring burdens dark and deep
I've a will and I've a wanting
And miles to go before I sleep

Blood red wine, a toast for heroes
And harping till the morning light
Come the dawn the road will lead us
If you ride with me this night

+ Days of Days
We sailed on sun soaked seas
And we sailed
Late on the day of days

And desire and pride and anger
Fade away
Washed on the sea of change

[Boarding the morning of the free
Re-born in the dawning, complete]

We came in search of saviours
Round the world
And through the cities and the towns

There was a crowd no man could number
Walking down
Taking the chosen road

[Refrain]

We passed through the last aurora
And we rise
Soul kites in a diamond sky

[Refrain]

I knew a man who couldn't see
I knew a man who couldn't feel
I knew a man whc couldn't talk
I knew a man who couldn't walk
I knew a man, I knew a man, I knew a man

+ Big Sky
Diardaoin, an ceathramh latha dhan ‘Ghiblein. Deagh latha eile. Air mo chois trath. Leig mi fhèin is m'athair a-mach an crodh. Tha Alasdair a' treabhadh thall taobh an iar. Dh'fhalbh sinn sios a dh'Orasaigh, fodraigeadh nam beathaichean agus thàinig sinn air ais timcheall Cleit, a' cumail suil a-mach airson na h-uain. Tha e math a bhi beò, tha e math a bhi beò.

The light is on me
All time is here
I'm going down to Clachan
To stem the rush of years
Big sky above me
Powerlines overhead
I get lifted up enraptured
I keep falling at your feet
I'm looking over colourfields
Past the white sands and our human years
And it's all waiting here
Breaking the seed

[It's coming again
Gathering the wind
Returning to claim a harvest
I'm lifted where I stand
On the never-ending land
I'm coming to a sense of home]

Air an òidhche bha sluagh mòr a-staigh agus bha againn ri dhol suas gu taigh Neill airson tuilleadh sheidhrichean. Tha an teaghlach uile dhachaidh a -neisd. A' suidhe air an staidhre a' coimhead air an uinneag. A' gheallach, An Crogaire, Loch an Aonghais. Fhad's a bha Ruairidh Sheumais a' gabhail na leabhraichean. Tha gnothaichean caran mun aon rud.

Wind through the barley
Your early dream
A rising choir of birdsong
Your fields of summer green
It's all passing over
I've no complaints
We're just a row of unlit candles
Waiting at the gate of saints
I'm living on the borderline
Between the moment and the shining miles
The far stretching stones
All the lines of the sown

[Refrain]

The light of ancient shine
On your ordinary lives
We joyed went to the fires of harvest

So open up the land
Open up the sand
Returning again in Clachan

+ Empty Glens
Looking out on all that's been
On all that is and all that's beyond time
I close my eyes in isolation

Here's where the word was sown
All that's grown and all that's passed like ghosts
Through the child to highland generations

[Now we walk in empty glens
Rushes blowing in the wind
A voice that's calling you again
To come back home

Where have they gone, where have they gone
Gone to illusion everyone
In the darkest heart, the pride of man
Will walk alone]

Science breaking down the door
And all the hoardes go rushing through for more
All the thrills of the world, and all her idols

Here the water washed us clean
A deeper peace for all our keenest sins
Washed in these clear, clear crystal fountains

[Refrain]

+ Interview : Bruce et Calum avec Soren Dahl

+ All The Miles
From the landing of Portree
To the wild Cape Breton coast
Every mile there in between
And on every word I spoke

[You never left me all the miles
You were with me all the way
On every cloud that drifted by
Every wave my bow did break]

Where the fire meets the sky
In the land of coal and steel
I still dream you by my side
I feel I always will

[Refrain]

And it makes a poor man strong
To have a sense of home
And the ground on which I stand
Knows no distance to me when

[Refrain]

+ Days Of Days (SWR Radio Session)
We sailed on sun soaked seas
And we sailed
Late on the day of days

And desire and pride and anger
Fade away
Washed on the sea of change

[Boarding the morning of the free
Re-born in the dawning, complete]

We came in search of saviours
Round the world
And through the cities and the towns

There was a crowd no man could number
Walking down
Taking the chosen road

[Refrain]

We passed through the last aurora
And we rise
Soul kites in a diamond sky

[Refrain]

I knew a man who couldn't see
I knew a man who couldn't feel
I knew a man whc couldn't talk
I knew a man who couldn't walk
I knew a man, I knew a man, I knew a man

+ Hearts Of Olden Glory (SWR Radio Session)
There's thunder clouds 'round the hometown bay
As I walk out in the rain
Through the sepia showers
And the photoflood days

I caught a fleeting glimpse of life
And though the water's black as night
The colours of Scotland
Leave you young inside

[There must be a place
Under the sun
Where hearts of olden glory
Grow young]

There's a vision coming soon
Through the faith that cleans your wound
Hearts of olden glory
Will be renewed

Down the lens where the headlands stand
I feel a healing through this land
A cross for a people
Like wind through your hands

[Refrain]

+ Empty Glens (SWR Radio Session)
Looking out on all that's been
On all that is and all that's beyond time
I close my eyes in isolation

Here's where the word was sown
All that's grown and all that's passed like ghosts
Through the child to highland generations

[Now we walk in empty glens
Rushes blowing in the wind
A voice that's calling you again
To come back home

Where have they gone, where have they gone
Gone to illusion everyone
In the darkest heart, the pride of man
Will walk alone]

Science breaking down the door
And all the hoardes go rushing through for more
All the thrills of the world, and all her idols

Here the water washed us clean
A deeper peace for all our keenest sins
Washed in these clear, clear crystal fountains

[Refrain]

+ The Work Song
My father came from a Highland home
I was raised in a Lowland town
He fought his life for a heartless soil
I watched the burning wheels go round
I tried to break out I grew my hair
I kicked the ball and I made the grade
The more I kicked the more I wept
This is a hopeless heartless cage

We spoke in silence we cursed in vain
Then I shook the old man's hand
If he could see me now he'd be ashamed
Is this the son that became a man
He knew his place and he knew his pride
They've made a freeman of this slave
No there was never beauty here but there was life
What now for a freeman in his grave

So what will I tell the woman I love
Lying in her arms as the sun goes down
You tell me you can live on love
Rivers of plenty, money to burn
And as I lie across her breasts
I feel the heartbeat of an unborn love
I close my eyes and I pray to God
Make this a daughter not a son

A man must work his hands
A man must bare his brow
A man must hold his head high
As we walks on through this world

+ This Time Of Year
The snow lies high around my door
And beyond the Great North Road
There calls this restless soul
To journey home

The wind blows coldly through the trees
But I will feel no fear
To the ones you call your own
Is where I'm going

This time of year
This time of year
At this time I think of you

Sometimes it's hard to close a door
The future can be cold
Another year has turned
And you're not here

A yellow moon runs deep and bright
Where the mountains stand on ice
And a million stars
They fire the skies tonight

You can tell me, flowers never bend
Or that this world's at an end
But don't tell me
That we'll never meet again
