Skelling — текст песни (Clannad)

Like mighty ships that sail atlantic foam
The skelling isles parade the kerry coast
It`s a strange place
With a needle`s eye
Where shipwrecks lie

CHORUS
Where the king of the world
Rested for a while
And a place for the pilgrim
A sanctuary of time
Fourteen steps to nowhere
Out of solid stone
Don`t lead us to the heavens
Or lead us to the sea

The vikings came to plunder and destroy
But to this day the holy relics stand
In a blind mans cove
Where the wailing woman sighs
And the seagulls cry

CHORUS
A journey to these islands so rare
The sound of screaming souls that fill the air
A thousand wings
Against the sky
And grey seal`s disguised

CHORUS
