Song | Stolen |
Artist | Dougie MacLean |
Album | Riof |
It’s been stolen from me | |
Taken never to return | |
Rendered blind I cannot see | |
Back along the shining way we’ve come | |
No more the singing tears will fall | |
Fall to wash the spirits clean | |
Almost empty almost all | |
Blind refused to see what might have been | |
How can the lover’s heart proclaim | |
Once the poetry has gone | |
These naked words are not the same | |
Stranded in some empty place we don’t belong | |
No more the ancient tales to tell | |
Words to lead our children on | |
Left unopened where they fell | |
All our timeless wisdom now has gone | |
And so the children bear the loss | |
O he-he-ri o | |
Of what’s been gained and what’s been lost | |
O he-he-he ri o |
It' s been stolen from me | |
Taken never to return | |
Rendered blind I cannot see | |
Back along the shining way we' ve come | |
No more the singing tears will fall | |
Fall to wash the spirits clean | |
Almost empty almost all | |
Blind refused to see what might have been | |
How can the lover' s heart proclaim | |
Once the poetry has gone | |
These naked words are not the same | |
Stranded in some empty place we don' t belong | |
No more the ancient tales to tell | |
Words to lead our children on | |
Left unopened where they fell | |
All our timeless wisdom now has gone | |
And so the children bear the loss | |
O heheri o | |
Of what' s been gained and what' s been lost | |
O hehehe ri o |
