Josiah David Swim - Slieve League Lyrics

Clever am I
Clever to have climbed so high
It's nothing short of madness
Considering the menace of the sky
It's a lie
One at first you tell inside
It's automatic to me
Formed so naturally in the mind

Ooo ooo
So many have been this way before
Heavily-hearted and lonesome
Ooo oo
We have travelled far from Eastern shores
To shine a light on, shine a light on our fears

Our little lights
Flicker on the mountainside
And every brittle breath we've borrowed from the West
Returns in kind
And all other forces of nature have set themselves in our way
O' what a bitter pill to take
What a terrible foe to face

Ooo ooo
So many have been this way before
Heavily-hearted and lonesome
Ooo oo
We have travelled far from Eastern shores
To drink from the cup that we've chosen
And shine a light on, shine a light on our fears

All of those barren miles behind us
Grow golden as they fade away
Somehow they alchemize with distance
And in a curious twist of fate
They shine a light on, shine a light on our fear

Ooo ooo
So many have been this way before
Heavily-hearted and lonesome
Ooo oo
We have travelled far from Eastern shores
To drink from the cup that we've chosen
Ooo oo
We have travelled far from Eastern shores
To shine a light on, shine a light on our fears
