repeat intro

the poplars , and willows , and birds pass me by
the mould of the earth to the space in the sky
free from my roots and im lost in the wind
wind on the mountain , and the mountains my friend

and ive only got so near ( illuminate me )
and ive only gone so far ( illuminate me )
and ill walk another country mile
ill see another star

hemlock and yew have me toeing the line
questions come knocking , ill answer in time
but the seams of the soil unravel with ease
nose to the road and im painfully free

and ive only got so near ( illuminate me )
and ive only gone so far ( illuminate me )
and ill walk another country mile
ill see another star

C G6
call me the wind in the hole
D E D
blowing my way to the call
E D G6
ill dust up the days ’til ive gone every way
D C G C G C G
no less and ive never wanted mo – re , mo – re , mo – re

lost on the bough in a golden refrain
sleep goes away and the day comes again
but the rain on my cap has me chasing a roof
ill be this young choice ’til im long in the tooth

and ive only got so near ( illuminate me )
and ive only gone so far ( illuminate me )
and ill walk another country mile
ill see another star

and ive only got so near ( illuminate me )
and ive only gone so far ( illuminate me )
and ill walk another country mile
ill see another star

illuminate me
illuminate me
