What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Living in a place with time
2
Living in a place where reality is
3
Standing on a big broad line
4
Watching it all go by, ah,
5
But you're taking it all away
6
The music, the tongue and the old refrains
7
You're coming here to play
8
But you're pulling the roots from a dying age
9
Remember the Buachaille Mor
10
Reaching for the skies from the barren shores
11
Watching o'er the village of Burns
12
And counting the days since the gael kept home
13
Well, the stranger claims it now
14
Sitting like a king with his gold from the south
15
Don't you see the waves of wealth
16
Washing away the soul from the land?
17
[Chorus]
18
Here come the Clearances, my friend
19
Silently our history is coming to life again
20
We feel the breeze from the storm to come
21
And up and down this coast
22
We're waiting for the wheel to turn
23
Free were the fields of fern
24
Free was the fishing in the coves of care
25
Empty are the homes of old
26
Empty for the sake of summer's cause
27
Yes, you're taking it all away
28
The music, the tongue and the old refrains
29
You're coming here to play
30
But you're pulling the roots from a dying age
31
[Chorus]
