On a long dark loch, on a Uist moor
D Em
Before the winter turned
G D
We watched the circle round the moon
C Em
The storm clouds gathered round
G
So I turned to you, but you were gone
D Em
So I turned for home alone
G D
Over last year's rotting corn I walked
C Em
Where the harvest winds had blown
G D C G
The Blinding lines have turned away
D Em
Shadows from your door
G D C G
And my worn heart is young today
D Em
This darkest winter gone

Where the darkness whines on an eerie wind
D Em
In the hour before the dawn
G D
We scanned this wasted land for life
C Em
All seemed void and without form
G
So I turned to you, but you were gone
D Em
So I stood and watched alone
G D
Where the doughty clouds of first light formed
C Em
Their shapes across the soul

The Blinding lines have turned away
D Em
Shadows from your door

And my worn heart is young today

So I turned my collar to the wind
D Em
And I asked myself in vain
G D
Did I walk out here with you today
C Em
Or did I come alone?
G
But then I saw a distant sight
D Em
A heart behind the grey
G D
Come shining through the darkest sky
C Em
Establishing my way
G D C G
The Blinding lines have turned away
D Em
Shadows from your door

But my worn heart is young today

This darkest winter gone
