Jim Capaldi - Gifts Of Unknown Things Lyrics

Lights beneath the water
Defy you to explain
The secrets to the universe
In every drop of rain

Every sound has color
We no longer hear or see
Imprisoned by our reason
Though we think that we are free

So you walk the path that once was trod
By wise and ancient kings
Searching in the mists of time
For gifts of unknown things

Child of the islands
Sister to the winds
When she dances before you
She shows you where life begins

She speaks in many colors
The dolphin is her friend
She calls to him and he swims to her
Your reason begins to bend

So you walk the path that once was trod
By wise and ancient kings
Searching in the mists of time
For gifts of unknown things

White horse on the hillside
Dragons in the earth
Symbols of the ancient ways
Nobody knows what they're worth

Standing stones in circles
Their magic holds the key
Fixed along the ley lines
Guarding the great mystery

So you walk the path that once was trod
By wise and ancient kings
Searching in the mists of time
For gifts of unknown things
