Flower of the West

Sunburst On the morning moor The light of God The heart of youth I look around me My eyes find their rest On this garden Oh the flower of the West The silent skies An innocent heart Holding the moment away From time in the dark All I see All I know Is touching the sacred earth And warming the hallowed ground Walk on Walk on Sunrise The colour frontier The ageing light The sight that knows no fear I look over Orinsay To the Trumisgarry shore To Aloter And the road to Ahmore The silent skies An innocent heart Holding the moment away From time in the dark All I see All I know Is touching the sacred earth And warming the hallowed ground I survive the childhood universe And I step the naked heath Where the breathing of the vanished Lies in acres round my feet Past Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada And the flatlands to the east Where the dark blue mass of Eval Meets the rising Rock of Lee Between the Crogary and Maairi I started to descend Loch Aongais on my left hand side I look across to Clett Collies barking on the outrun Dunlin dancing on the sand Breakers show round Corran Vallique And empty the Atlantic on the strand The silent skies An innocent heart Holding the moment away From time in the dark All I see All I know Is touching the sacred earth And warming the hallowed ground The silent skies An innocent heart Holding the moment away From time in the dark All I see All I know Is touching the sacred earth And warming the hallowed ground
