Rest on the Rock Lyrics by Kris Drever, John McCusker, Roddy Woomble

Before the Ruin

0

[Verse 1: Roddy Woomble]
I won't try to live side by side with the future
In a voice that's louder than air
Even when I fall asleep, I'll sleep
Like the skulls beneath a beach
[Verse 2: Roddy Woomble]
I rest on the rocks at the back of the island
And the distance of water is hidden, is hidden from you
And you lay me down, down on the dirt cold ground
And I'll close my eyes until I'm hidden, I'm hidden from view
[Verse 3: Roddy Woomble, Roddy Woomble & Kris Drever]
All our local heroes
They went beyond their beginnings in the end
And you dream of wild horizons
A place we'll all go together in the end
[Bridge: Kris Drever]
Followed your bride down into salt water
There's a look of wisdom hidden in everyone
Argyll stands still in midwinter
With no map and no memory under the morning sun
Lights the path so you'll follow me
But you don't have to follow me
You don't have to follow me
You'll just have to let me be
[Verse 6: Roddy Woomble & Kate Rusby]
And I rest on the rocks at the back of the island
And the distance of water is hidden, is hidden from you
And I rest on the rocks at the back of the island
And the distance of water is hidden, is hidden from you
