Lyrics
Roots of Oak
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Driving across the highlands
Of Scotland in our land rover
Shadow of cloud falls
And with it a chill
High o'er heather
Hawk hover the hill
Just begun is my journey
And Danu's my name
I am the juggler of fortune and fame
Let me not hear facts figures and logic
Fain would I hear lore legends and magic (x 4)
Feathers of raven
Slithers of coal
Armour of silver
In the mackerel shoal
Sun in the west
T'is ruby blood red
Travelers a-weary
Do make their bed
Let me not hear facts figures and logic
Fain would I hear lore legends and magic (x 4)
