On a long dark loch, on a Uist moor
Before the winter turned
We watched the circle round the moon
The storm clouds gathered round
So I turned to you, but you were gone
So I turned for home alone
Over last year's rotting corn I walked
Where the harvest winds had blown
The Blinding lines have turned away
Shadows from your door
And my worn heart is young today
This darkest winter gone
INTERLUDE: (one fast lick 1st then )
Where the darkness whines on an eerie wind
In the hour before the dawn
We scanned this wasted land for life
All seemed void and without form
So I turned to you, but you were gone
So I stood and watched alone
Where the doughty clouds of first light formed
Their shapes across the soul
The Blinding lines have turned away
Shadows from your door
And my worn heart is young today
This darkest winter gone
INTERLUDE: (two fast licks 1st then )
So I turned my collar to the wind
And I asked myself in vain
Did I walk out here with you today
Or did I come alone?
But then I saw a distant sight
A heart behind the grey
Come shining through the darkest sky
Establishing my way
The Blinding lines have turned away
Shadows from your door
But my worn heart is young today
This darkest winter gone
The Blinding lines have turned away
Shadows from your door
But my worn heart is young today
This darkest winter gone
