Waiting For The Wheel To Turn lyrics
Living in a place with time
Living in a place where reality is
Standing on a big broad line
Watching it all go by
Ah, but you re taking it all away
The music, the tongue and the old refrains
You re coming here to play
And you re pulling the roots from a dying age
Remember the Buachaille Mor
Reaching for the skies from the barren shores
Watching over the village of burns
And counting the days since the gael kept home
But the stranger claims it now
Sitting like a king with his gold from the south
Don t you see the waves of wealth
Washing away the soul from the land
Chorus
Here come the Clearances my friend
Silently our history is coming to life again
We feel the breeze from the storm to come
And up and down the coast
We re waiting for the wheel to turn
Free were the fields of fern
Free was the fishing in the coves of care
Empty are the hornes of old
Empty for the sake of summer s cause
Yes, you re taking it all away
The music, the tongue and the old refrains
You re coming here to play
And you re pulling the roots from a dying age...
