The Calling

from In Another Time by Skellig

/

lyrics

Glens of Antrim, sweet the calling
In my heart to be with thee
Green the fields of grass are growing
Over hills and river valleys rolling free
I have tasted your affection
The tenderest of touches on my skin
Felt the warmest kiss of Ireland
I will never be the same again

Silent slumber, dreams of walking
In the shadows of your holy shrines
Celtic crosses, crumbling castles
Stone reflections of a not-so-ancient time
Holy words & superstitions
Intermingle, leading seeking men astray
Still, the hand of God upon you
Lends a hope that you will find the narrow way

And the yearning grows deep to be under your skies
Your desolate beauty bewitching my eyes
For mountain tops hidden 'neath mist-covered shrouds
Where the sweet light of heaven escapes through the clouds
And your passioned embrace is the call of my heart
There's an ache in my soul from our being apart

Red the colours 'gainst the headland
Bloody sunset on the mountainside
Wild & rugged shores of Eirann
Shaped & beaten by a harsh Atlantic tide
I would dive into your ocean
To be swallowed up completely by your charms
Glens of Ireland, sweet the calling
To be wrapped around forever in your arms

And the learning grows deep to be under your skies
