[Verse 1]
I awoke in the dust of an autumn morning
Faces oil-lit and kneeling 'round the family chairs
I never knew that a heart could take such filling
Spaces everywhere, everywhere
[Chorus]
And the ship comes round
And she's waiting at the harbour
Be prepared to get on board, be prepared
I never knew
That the light of ages breaks away before us
Sail away, sail away
[Verse 2]
All the front doors opened and the men came walking
Suits and shoes, heads of silver and grey
It's one short road from the darkened cradle
To the endless light of day
[Verse 3]
She walked like a bride down the aisle of her childhood
The shops, the schoolyard, the church on the hill
Where she trembled on the day she was touched and broken
Mhairi was born again
I awoke in the dust of an autumn morning
Faces oil-lit and kneeling 'round the family chairs
I never knew that a heart could take such filling
Spaces everywhere, everywhere
[Chorus]
And the ship comes round
And she's waiting at the harbour
Be prepared to get on board, be prepared
I never knew
That the light of ages breaks away before us
Sail away, sail away
[Verse 2]
All the front doors opened and the men came walking
Suits and shoes, heads of silver and grey
It's one short road from the darkened cradle
To the endless light of day
[Verse 3]
She walked like a bride down the aisle of her childhood
The shops, the schoolyard, the church on the hill
Where she trembled on the day she was touched and broken
Mhairi was born again
