Big Country - Celtic Dream lyrics

When I look into your eyes See the years I spent in them I’m amazed to find they still show clear Clear out to the edge every chance I took with you Shining in the darkest places of my fear I love the warmth that moments were the summer As you softly shimmer in seven veils of haze I feel the rainfall of a lifetimes worth of autumns Running on my shoulders like November days Last night I took a walk into the fire Of my Celtic dreams Someday soon I’ll leave that innocence behind me Until then I’m here Sometimes you just can’t tell the way the flood is gonna flow Sometimes you never know the way the coldest wind will blow I used to answer all these things for everyone Not because I knew the truth But because I was having fun Last night I took a walk into the fire Of my Celtic dreams Someday soon I’ll leave that innocence behind me Until then I’m here Last night I took a walk into the fire Of my Celtic dreams Someday soon I’ll leave that innocence behind me Until then I’m here Stay free and throw your cares into the future Let them all come out Be true and pa** those dreams onto someone Before you wear them out By some strange god and a good right hand You can chase the ghost from the promised land If the promised land turns out as it should We can flood the place with consumer goods If we eat our greens and we say our prayers We can trap the beast in his stony lair We’ll tame the beast and we’ll save his soul And fill our schools with the gold we stole By some strange god and your good right hand We can shake the ghost from the promised land If the promised land turns out as it should We can flood the place with consumer goods If we eat our greens and we say our prayers We can trap the beast in his stony lair We’ll tame the beast and we’ll save his soul And fill our schools with the gold we stole
