Dream Fields Songtext
von Runrig

You can talk the tongue of angels
You can walk the thin white line
Raid your heart′s imagination
Let your thoughts live and run wild
But all I see is this station
And the boats with the sun in their wake
Looking out on Scalpay dawning
And you drenched in the rain of grace

Walked down the pier road to the deep sea
It was a long confused embrace
But I've seen an awesome beauty
I have seen the tears turn to wine on your face
And I wonder and I tremble
As you held me so close in your arms
With a love that held more learning
Than I could ever understand


Still the grass grows tall in the dream fields
And after all is said and done
That the only thing that ever matters
Is to love and to be loved

Still the grass grows tall in the dream fields
And after all is said and done
That the only thing that ever matters
Is to love and to be loved

Across the big years and the waters
For a new and happy life
Trading all that fire of living
For the fickle and the bland
Now I know that there is nothing
Can evermore put worth in your time
If the spirit never woos
Or moves your paths divine

Still the grass grows tall in the dream fields
And after all is said and done
The only thing that ever matters
Is to love and to be loved
