2. Summer Haze

(Music and lyrics by Dòmhnall Alasdair)

I stop to catch my breath by a loch so deep and still

As blue as the sky above my head

I plant both my feet among the heather and the grass

And inhale the sweet summer air

The silence of the moor is ringing in my ears

Like the cries of the skylarks high above

And just for a moment, nothing can I hear

But my thoughts and the beating of my heart

I lie upon the bank of a stream so crystal clear

And feel the sun upon my face

The rushing of the water and the songs of the birds

Embrace my body and my mind

The brilliance of the sun is imprinted on my eyes

Like the beauty of the moorland all around

And just for this moment, nothing can I see

But a hundred million miles of perfect sky

The sun shines into the corners of my mind

Illuminates the gloom and the dark

Shadows are banished from the land

The kingdom of light will prevail!

And in this medicated state

High on the thick summer haze

I almost begin to believe

That all is good in the world

The warmth penetrates the depths of my soul

Melts away the ice and the frost

The cold which for so long has ruled

Has fled, never to return!

And in this intoxicated state

Drunk on the thick summer haze

I almost dare to believe

That all is good in the world
