Lyrics for The Lie of the Land
Take time to step outside A path that leads somewhere Far from the city streets On the hillside plains, a wood Where I can find a way The light of the land carries me onward No place for the man under the shroud I am far out of bounds The goal in his heart, I am lost These golden boughs (these golden boughs), oh, I shall build And the melodies holding me (the melodies holding me) fast to this place All the leaves, the sun receding That corner of heaven, light cuts its way through the trees It's all I was searching for This heartwood is here for me Though heart is so heavy The way back home is clear Sure as man holds light A burden now made light
