lyrics

Wild grasses grow on the moorland bare
The smell of salty seaweed that lingers in the ocean air
Oh I yearn, oh I yearn, oh I yearn to be a bairn
To explore the land before it’s my turn

Drink from Kilmory well
Forever you’ll be bound
To Shearwaters on the slopes of Hallival
Brutal beauty wrapped in western tidal swell
Brutal beauty wrapped in western tidal swell

Hostile waters sit between us
A land of red deer, ponies, otters and eagles
Oh I pine, oh I pine, oh I pine for that coastline
To climb mountains forged in volcanic decline

Drink from Kilmory well
Forever you’ll be bound
To Shearwaters on the slopes of Hallival
Brutal beauty wrapped in western tidal swell
Brutal beauty wrapped in western tidal swell

Twenty miles southwest pining
For your final breath
Venture northeast across
Migration paths, misleading depths
The water I must drink
Drained from sandstone and mountains so distinct

It has me under its spell
Wrapped in tidal swell
It has me under its spell
Wrapped in tidal swell

Drink from Kilmory well
Forever you’ll be bound
To Shearwaters on the slopes of Hallival
Brutal beauty wrapped in western tidal swell
Brutal beauty wrapped in western tidal swell

Brutal beauty wrapped in western tidal swell
Brutal beauty wrapped in western tidal swell
