Walking out on the revelation trail
A Bm E
Going nowhere slowly

In the face of a terminal wind

I look over my shoulder to glory

The moon and the stars and the feelings remain

As long as I draw emotion in breath
Bm E
I will never forget, I'll never forget

The light of the world keeps shining

Such a long long way to go

Going down to the memory well
A Bm E
No romance, no warning
A
Breaking the land with the saints of your soil
D Bm E
In the light of all constant dawning

I'm held in the grasp of the blessed and the old
D Bm E
The hand that civilization's forgotten to hold

Rushing onwards, racing in chains
Bm E
I'm chasing the days, chasing the days

I see you laughing 'round the fires of harvest

Flame grabbing and your arms entwined

Dying tribe take a righteous glance

To the sharing days and the common wine

The light of the world keeps shining

There's a shrine on an Assynt hillside

It's made of earth and salt and rain

Now you walk out in the morning
D Bm E E
With your sacrifice of change
