Calanais Stones

from Calanais by Lissa-Käthe

/

about

I stood in awe of these megaliths. I had arrived to witness the event of every 18.6 years, when the moon skims especially low over the southern hills. It danced along them like a great god visiting the earth. It is prediction of this heavenly event that gave earthly authority to those who watched the skies. They have stood for around 5,000 yrs overlooking Loch Roag, patiently under changing skies. The Stones suddenly enveloped my entire journey, reminding me of all I'd seen and to appreciate all those before me, who have travelled this magnificent world we live in.

lyrics

See those Calanais stones
The rain trickles down their grain
and they are happy

See those Calanais stones
The cold wind wraps around
There's snow on the ground
Yet they are happy, just to breathe

Feel those Calanais stones
and the stillness above
They show me love
They are happy, just to breathe

I want to be those stones
and never have to leave
Never have to grieve
I'll be happy, just to breathe

When moments move, and I am anxious in my heart
They'll give to me, all their love
They say 'learn from me' I hear them whisper on the wind
They say, 'learn from me, just breathe.'

See that Northern sky
See its gentle light
Iy opened up my eyes
What a brilliant sight

Fell that North Atlantic sea
See down into its deep
I see it rise and fall
As it breathes with me.

All those castles so strong
Their place in time has gone
But their spirit lingers on
They are happy, just to breathe

Hear that mountain calling me
It reaches to the sky
Lifts me up so high
So I can breathe

Just breathe, just breathe
Breathe, just breathe -
