Distant Hill - Capercaillie

Water lapping round my knees

Golden sand beneath my feet

Would mean a lot to me There’s very little you can say

To make those feelings go away

Till you take me There’s nothing more that I prefer

To see the boys and the girls

Step it out with grace and pride

As honesty flows by your side

I cannot run from times hard pressed

To become embittered, dispossessed

Just like some do And maybe some place I can find

Where wheel and heart become entwined

Like I hope to And nothing matters more to you

To sit and sing a song that’s true

The first one there and last to leave

Sweet memories for you to keep

No easy lesson for me to learn

Just to close those eyes of mock concern

And halt your rush to be sincere

There’s more in life for you to fear.
