Runrig - Song of the Earth Lyrics

Lyrics Song of the Earth - Runrig



It was winter on the Mersey
Snow was falling on New York
The boats were coming in from Ireland
A nation drinking 'round the docks
What do you do when the rain is falling?
What do you do when the rain is falling down?
Young men were heading back to Europe
Rocking the Reeperbahn at night
We watched the airwaves over Eval
Angels were dancing in the light (ooh)
What do you do when the sun is sinking?
What do you do when the sun is sinking low?
The chains, slaves, praise and gospel
Burn like the sun in tortured mouths
A hurricane blew out of Memphis
Revolution in the south (ooh)
What do you do when the sun is beating?
What do you do when the sun is beating down?
Spirits drink the milk of nations
Singing freedom and release
Cries of mercy rise like rockets
Through the paths of the redeemed (ooh)
What do you do when the guns are turning?
What do you do when the guns are turning round?
What do you do when the guns are turning?
What do you do when the guns are turning round?
What do you do
Sing a song of the earth
Song of the earth
Song of the earth
A singer in my bloodstream
Stayed mainline all my life
His voice filled my Atlantic
A Celtic fire, a soul of white (ooh)
What do you do when your homes are burning
What do you do when your homes are burning down
He wore the beauty of his people
Came to tell it to the world
Human tears, human oceans
The greatest song I've ever heard (ooh)
What do you do when your hope is raging
What do you do when your hope is raging strong
It was winter on the Mersey
The museum on the docks
Oh, my years, through my failures
To where the white piano stood
What do you do when the rain is falling?
What do you do when the rain is falling down?
Saw all the singers of the Gaidhealtachd
And all the world could understand
I heard, maybe I'm a dreamer
I'm not the only one (ooh)
What do you do when the song you're singing?
What do you do when the song you're singing's gone?
What do you do when the song you're singing?
What do you do when the song you're singing's gone?
Song of the earth
Sing a song of the earth
Song of the earth
Sing a song of the earth
Song of the earth
Song of the earth
Woah, song of the earth
