Lyrics Kris Drever, John McCusker, Roddy Woomble - Rest On The Rock

I won't try to live side by side with the future
In a voice that's louder than air
Even when I fall asleep, I'll sleep
Like all skulls beneath the beach

I rest on the rocks at the back of the island
And the distance of water is hidden, is hidden from you
And you lay me down, down on the dirt cold ground
And I'll close my eyes until I'm hidden, I'm hidden from view

All our local heroes
They went beyond their beginning in the end
And you dream of wild horizons
A place we'll all go together in the end

Followed your bride down into salt water
There's a look of wisdom hidden in everyone
Argyll stands still in midwinter
With no map and no memory under the morning sun

Lights the path so you'll follow me
But you don't have to follow me
You don't have to follow me
You'll just have to let me be

And I rest on the rocks at the back of the island
And the distance of water is hidden, is hidden from you
And I rest on the rocks at the back of the island
And the distance of water is hidden, is hidden from you
