To Scotland In My Heart

[tom.d.stiller]

Hearts Of Olden Glory

Calum & Rory Macdonald (of Runrig)

There's thunder clouds
Round the hometown bay
As I walk out
In the rain
Through the sepia showers
And the photoflood days

I caught a fleeting glimpse
Of life
And though the water's
Black as night
The colours of Scotland
Leave you young inside

There must be a place
Under the sun
Where hearts of olden glory
Grow young

There's a vision
Coming soon
Through the faith
That cleans your wound
Hearts of olden glory
Will be renewed

Down the glens
Where the headlands stand
I feel a healing
Through this land
A cross for a people
Like a wind through your hands

There must be a place
Under the sun
Where hearts of olden glory
Grow young

There must be a place
Under the sun
Where hearts of olden glory
Grow young

(and when you're in Stirling Castle
to celebrate a 30th anniversary
you'll repeat the refrain
for as often as the people
want you to do...)

--------------

I'm in a sentimental mood right now.
Thus I post this,
wishing I could come back
some day
to the place
Under the sun
Where hearts of olden glory
Grow young.

It was there where
for the first time
I didn't feel like a stranger
in a strange
land.

And may Celtic always win
when playing the Rangers!

Maybe someone else knows the band?!

I've only ever listened to Runrig when someone is playing their music in the background... I think they deserve more attention from me.
