way up there in the poison glen
the sun's going down on the misty mountain
and I'm watching
and wondering
feeling something from long ago
haunted echo that surrounds the glen
the heather creeping through
the burned out ruins
and I'm watching
and wondering
feeling spirits of long ago
who in the valley shed the poison tear?
no one knows
an old legend of a mythical hero
and I'm watching
and wondering
feeling something from long ago
may this vale be my silver lining
pleasing nature with a heart's desire
the burned out ruins
and I'm watching
and wondering
feeling everything from long ago
