Skylark
Up here on the mountain looking down upon the trees
And the leaves of autumn, drifting in the breeze
No one else around me here among the clouds
Space and time to ponder far from all the crowds
Coming from the urban, brought up in the sprawl
Streets were damp and dirty, nothing green at all
Then I found the hillsides, these I never knew
In the frosts of winter or the morning dew
And I'm standing by the cairn stone, my face up to the sky
Here there's nothing higher, just the skylark cry
Here among the timeless rocks and riverbeds
And the ancient cadence of the days long dead
From the winds of darkness to stillness of the day
I can see the pattern, it's always been that way
And I'm standing by the cairn stone, my face up to the sky
Here there's nothing higher, just the skylark cry
And the leaves of autumn, drifting in the breeze
No one else around me here among the clouds
Space and time to ponder far from all the crowds
Coming from the urban, brought up in the sprawl
Streets were damp and dirty, nothing green at all
Then I found the hillsides, these I never knew
In the frosts of winter or the morning dew
And I'm standing by the cairn stone, my face up to the sky
Here there's nothing higher, just the skylark cry
Here among the timeless rocks and riverbeds
And the ancient cadence of the days long dead
From the winds of darkness to stillness of the day
I can see the pattern, it's always been that way
And I'm standing by the cairn stone, my face up to the sky
Here there's nothing higher, just the skylark cry
