Runrig - The Mighty Atlantic lyrics

The roll of the wind As we sail across the water The roll of the sea As we're taken through the night The dimming lamp of day Leaves the crimson foam and spray Across the face of the mighty Atlantic In this cradle we found love In our lifetimes we were broken By the spirit we were turned Here we touched the hope divine And in the rapture and the charm Came the tranquil and the calm On the rage of the mighty Atlantic Deepest grave, supreme deceiver Brave new worlds and cursed emotion Let your people go, bring me a saviour White doves rise above the ocean The brightness of the lights As they stretch across the water The excitement of the night As we're carried through the seas There's a welcome lies in store The strongest arms I've ever known In the homes of the mighty Atlantic For the roll it is gentle As the waves, they guide you over Full new moon across the stern flag Our different worlds in constant motion The roll of the wind As we sail across the waters The roll of the sea As we're taken through the night I'm coming home it's late And you know I just can't wait For the shores of the mighty Atlantic For the shores of the mighty Atlantic For the shores of the mighty Atlantic
