Take Us Back

Atop the crags and cliffs

The air is thin

So we'll

Find a mountain path on down the hill

Meet me where the snowmelt

Flows

It is there my dear

Where we'll begin again

Skipping stones

Braiding hair

Last years antlers

Mark the trail

Take us back, oh

Take us back, oh

Take us

Take us back

Take us back, oh

Take us back, oh

Take us

Take us back

(Oo-oo-ooh)

(Oo-oo-ooh)

(Oo-oo-ooh)

I've a friend who lives out by

The rivers mouth

He knows the fiddle's crys

An old sound

A lonesome bow

The creaks and moans

Of empty houses

Are songs like falling

Rain

Wind blown buildings

Muddy ground

The strength of water

Can sink a man

Take us back, oh

Take us back, oh

Take us

Take us back

Take us back, oh

Take us back, oh

Take us

Take us back

(Oo-oo-ooh)

(Oo-oo-ooh)

(Oo-oo-ooh)

When the higher hills

Have turned to blue

And the waves are lapping

Where the children grew

All that we have known

Will be an echo

Of days when love was true

Muted voices

Just beyond

The silent surface

Of what has gone

(Oo-oo-ooh)

(Oo-oo-ooh)

(Oo-oo-ooh)
