You can talk the tongue of angels You can walk the thin white line Raid your heart's imagination Let your thoughts live and run wild But all I see is this station And the boats with the sun in their wake Looking out on Scalpay dawning And you drenched in the rain of grace Walked down the pier road to the deep sea It was a long confused embrace But I've seen an awesome beauty I have seen the tears turn to wine on your face And I wonder and I tremble As you held me so close in your arms With a love that held more learning Than I could ever understand Still the grass grows tall in the dream fields And after all is said and done That the only thing that ever matters Is to love and to be loved Still the grass grows tall in the dream fields And after all is said and done That the only thing that ever matters Is to love and to be loved Across the big years and the waters For a new and happy life Trading all that fire of living For the fickle and the bland Now I know that there is nothing Can evermore put worth in your time If the spirit never woos Or moves your paths divine Still the grass grows tall in the dream fields And after all is said and done The only thing that ever matters Is to love and to be loved
