Not enough Runrig on here, so here's one of my favourites.
From the "Big Wheel" album.
Capo 1
(verse 1)
When you close your eyes there’s a frightened pride that lives for you
That your mothers life and your father’s eyes can’t hide.
You had no choice didn’t ask the dice to fall for you
Still your courage comes like thunder through the skies
(Chorus 1)
You’re always the winner, the victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old
(verse 2)
So you carry time down the tortured line where mysteries show
Well hidden from lifes learned and life’s wise
Man’s useless ways and worthless conversations
Lie well exposed and humbled in your smile
(Chorus 2)
You’re always the winner, the victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter, you’ll never be alone
For evermore the winner, the taker and the giver
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old.
(Bridge)
Still you run out in the morning, with the boys and girls
A miracle of innocence on a head of curls
We’ll search every reason wherever we roam
To find a place for these broken hearts and bones
We’ll keep a fire on the hillside, after the summer’s gone
And we’ll wait her for the war-wounded to come home.
(Chorus 3)
You’re always the winner, the victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter, you’ll never be alone
For evermore the winner, the taker and the giver
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old.
(hope this comes out ok. Looks weird on the "tab preview" but ok on my screen. If
comes out pants, email me and I'll send you a copy).
