The Walled Caves Of Ravenscraig Lyrics

I have come back here from the haunted days 'The ship is saileth on the foame' The oystercatchers mark the darkening wave and the spirits stands alone And I have wandered in the western isles and I have sang with men of time the evening sun reflects a stranger smile the colour red in sea and stone and in the east the shadows fill the coves and ghostly women walk in tears the miners crawl under the Firth of Forth with metal ringing in their ears Though men may suffer on an evil sea and live the sorrow of the times the tide of coal dust moves away from me and scarlet bells begin to chime
