On the morning moor

The light of God

      A        E
The heart of youth
I look around me

My eyes find their rest on this garden

The flower of the west

             E
The silent skies

             E
An innocent heart

             A     G#m
Holding the moment away

F#m              E
From time in the dark

       E       
All I see. All I know

And warming the hallowed ground
[Bridge]
B   A       B      F#m
  Walk on        Walk on
[Vocal section]
E               
I survive the childhood universe

      B
And I step the naked heath

           E
Where the breathing of the vanished

         B
Lies in acres round my feet

E               
Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada

          B
And the flatlands to the east

           E
Where the dark blue mass of Eval

           B
Meets the rising Rock of Lee

             E
Between the Crogary and Maairi

   B
I started to descend

         E 
Loch Aongais on my left hand side

   B
I look across to Clett

         E
Collies barking on the outrun

     B
Dunlin dancing on the sand

           A              
Breakers show round Corran Vallique

     D           F#m            B
And empty the Atlantic on the strand
[The rest of the verses/chorus use the same chords] Sunrise The colour frontier The ageing light The sight that knows no fear I look over Orinsay to the Trumisgarry shore To Aloter And the road to Ahmore The silent skies An innocent heart Holding the moment away From time in the dark All I see. All I know Is touching the sacred earth Warming the hallowed ground Enjoy!
