Miracles Of Nature - Christy Moore[00:00:00]
Written by:Christy Moore[00:00:01]
I took a rocky road up Croagh Patrick[00:00:50]
And a mossy path up Sliabh Gallion Braes[00:00:53]
And I plunged in the deep at Brandon Creek[00:00:57]
And slept in a glade beyond Dún Maebh[00:01:00]
All alone along the Wicklow Way peace[00:01:04]
And solitude I found[00:01:08]
When I reached the slopes of Mullaghmore[00:01:11]
I could have sworn[00:01:13]
That was the holy ground[00:01:15]
Minister minister[00:01:18]
Pause for reflection[00:01:20]
As you fly by helicopter[00:01:22]
In pursuit of re election[00:01:25]
An obsession with affairs of State[00:01:27]
And legislature[00:01:30]
Leaves little time for us to share[00:01:31]
In the miracles of nature[00:01:34]
Like the fairy foxglove[00:01:40]
And the rusty back fern at Poll Na Gollum[00:01:43]
The silver cranesbill[00:01:48]
And columbine at Caher Connell[00:01:50]
The juniper at Bellharbour[00:01:54]
The wintergreen around Slaibh Carron[00:01:57]
These miracles of nature[00:02:03]
Surviving in the crevices of the Burren[00:02:05]
There's gonna be sewerage schemes[00:02:10]
And septic tanks[00:02:12]
Tarmac and concrete mixers[00:02:13]
And rumours circling Co Clare[00:02:15]
Promising lots of nixers[00:02:18]
And car parks to be levelled[00:02:20]
Infills and elevations[00:02:22]
And when all the dust is settled[00:02:24]
A handful of jobs[00:02:27]
And relations[00:02:31]
Nature took[00:02:36]
Two million years[00:02:38]
To sculpture Mullaghmore[00:02:40]
Carved[00:02:45]
From the ancient rock[00:02:47]
By the freezing ice and snow[00:02:49]
As the sun shines down on the mountain[00:02:54]
At the broad Atlantic ocean[00:02:58]
You can hear the small birds singing[00:03:05]
On the Burren down round Mullaghmore[00:03:10]
