“Nothing but the sun…”

“Nothing But The Sun” by Runrig

In there, Out there, In there, Out there…

Then I began to see the sun and the moon
As I wandered round in orbit on this land that I called home
No Messiah up in the sky, that I could ever see, that I could ever know
To find my soul

Standing in the face of the gale
A raging night on the island
Passed an old man with a dog on a hillside
Head bent in the weight of years
Headed back indoors, lost myself in the T.V.
Three women in a kitchen in Chechnya
Staring at the world with frightened eyes

All I had done below the sun would count for nothing in the turning of the world
When there is nowhere left to go, you walk alone and watch the void
Eclipse it all

Nothing but the sun
Nothing but the sun
Nowhere to run
Nothing but the sun
