Asus2
Diardaoin, an ceathramh latha, dhan 'Ghiblein

                  Gsus2
Deagh latha eile. Air mo chois trath. Leig mi fhein
is m'athair a-mach an crodh. Tha Alasdair a'
                     Asus2
treabhadh thall taobh an iar. Dh,fhalbh sinn sios a
dh'Orasaigh, fodraigeadh nam beathaichean agus
Gsus2
Thainig sinn air ais timcheall Cleit, a' cumail suil

                       Asus2
a-mach airson na h-uain. Tha e math a bhi beo,

Asus2
Tha e math a bhi beo.

A
The light is on me

A
All time is here

     G
I'm going down to Clachan

    D
To stem the rush of years

A
Big sky above me

A
Powerlines overhead

       G
I get lifted up enraptured

        D
I keep falling at your feet

Am                D
I'm looking over colourfields

Am
Past the white sands

         C        D
And our human years

G         D/F#        Em
And it's all waiting here

Am            F     C    G    A
Breaking the seed
CHORUS
D              Em
It's coming again

               C
Gathering the wind

               G      A
Returning to claim a harvest

D                    Em
I'm lifted where I stand

                     C
On the never-ending land

                 G        A    D
I'm coming to a sense of home
Spoken verse 2
Asus2
Air an oidhche bha sluagh mor a-staigh agus bha
againn ri dhol suas gu taigh Neil airson tuilleadh
              Gsus2
Sheidhrichean. Tha an teaghlach uile dhachaidh

                             Asus2
A-neisd. A' suidhe air an staidhre a coimhead air an
Uinneag. A' gheallach, an Crogaire, Loch an Aonghais.
Gsus2
Fhad's a bha Ruairidh Sheumais a' gabhail na leabhraichean.
Tha gnothaichean caran mun aon rud.
A
Wind through the barley

A
Your early dream

  G
A rising choir of birdsong

      D
Your fields of summer green

A
It's all passing over

A
I've no complaints

       G
We're just a row of unlit candles

D
Waiting at the gate of saints

Am                 D
I'm living on the borderline

Am
Between the moment

         C          D
And the shining miles

G     D/F#           Em
The far stretching stones

Am                    F   C  G  A
All the lines of the sown

D              Em
It's coming again

               C
Gathering the wind

               G      A
Returning to claim a harvest

D                    Em
I'm lifted where I stand

                     C
On the never-ending land

                 G        A    D
I'm coming to a sense of home

D                     Em
The light of ancient shine

                  C
On your ordinary lives

                      G         A
We joyed went to the fires of harvest

D               Em
So open up the land

             C
Open up the sand

            G        A    D   D
Returning again in Clachan
OUTRO
D        G         Bm       A       D
Falling Down, falling down again

        G
Falling Down again

Bm        A                    D
Oh can't hold back the feeling
