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

Clannad released their first album in 1973. They've been around for a while!

Clannad! I haven't heard them in a while. I have one of their CDs somewhere in the basement. I bought it during my Enya Era.

I agree -- more Clannad please. Dulaman and Fuaim are also great albums.
