Em C
and all my desires
Am G

Am C D

gun sealladh mor de chradh
’s dealbh de bhas
a window on the stars
the journey of the few
watching it all survive
it’s all i can do
– – – – – –
( translation of the gaelic verse )
and i cannot see a white shore
or a field of wheat growing
without the vision of suffering
and the picture of death
