Runrig - This Beautiful Pain Lyrics

Day was young and desire was stirred
Summer was all but gone
Light was fading from the side of your face
Sinking low in the corn

All that's constant and wise, I still see in your eyes
It was always this way from the start
Right here where I stand on the last of the land
But you're still breaking the heart

Now all I have is rushing right through my hands
Sailing over the seas
Down that tide where fresh and salt combine

All victories are released
We who wrestle the years
Have traded our fears
For a glimpse of ecstasy in the dark

Turning ice in the fire but still we're denied
But you're still breaking the heart
The skies turned red without failure
They held their promise and dread till the last

You put all of my youth in my future
You put the future back into my past
So shine a light and shine it brightly now
You know it all takes it's course

And all the many ways I've tried
So hard to reach this potent source
On the day behind time across the divide
Along the cord came all light out of dark
Now I stand amaze in this beautiful pain
But you're still breaking the heart
