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 

and I'm watching 

and wondering 

feeling everything from long ago
