Runrig - Always The Winner lyrics

Oh when you close your eyes There's a frightened pride that lives for you That your mother's life Your father's eyes can't hide You had no choice Didn't ask the dice to fall for you Still your courage comes Like thunder through the skies You're always the winner The victor and the giver Somewhere through that winter You will not grow old So you carry time Down the tortured line where mysteries show Well hidden from Life's learned and life's wise Man's useless ways Worthless conversation Lie well exposed And humbled in your smile You're always the winner The victor and the giver Somewhere through that winter You'll never be alone For evermore the winner The taker and the giver Somewhere through that winter You will not grow old Still you run out in the morning with the boys and the girls A miracle of innocence on a head of curls We'll search every reason wherever we roam Find a place for these broken hearts and bones We'll keep a fire on the hillsides after the summer's gone And we'll wait here till the war-wounded come home You're always the winner The victor and the giver Somewhere through that winter You'll never be alone For evermore the winner The taker and the giver Somewhere through that winter You will not grow old You're always the winner The victor and the giver Somewhere through that winter You'll never be alone For evermore the winner The taker and the giver Somewhere through that winter You will not grow old
