Standing Stones

from Moorscape - Album by John Reed

about

STANDING STONES is a love story about a journey the Drover would one day like to experience accompanied by his loved one, passing the same stones he regularly passes as he goes about his work. He knows he probably never will have that privilege, but he is determined that he will never relinquish his dream because that is what keeps him going.

lyrics

STANDING STONES

Standing tall in winter’s chill
On the track from hill to hill
Breaking through the silent snow
Ever present, ever still

Softened by the rains of spring
Sentries’ stand for man and king
Watching over all we do
Everyone and everything

Beyond the Stones
That cast their shadows long
Where the sun may guide us
On a path that we may roam

Beyond the standing stones

Summer days and summer haze
Life goes on beneath their gaze
A timeless store of memories
Secure within their frames

Beyond the Stones
That cast their shadows long
Where the sun may guide us
On a path that we may roam

Beyond the standing stones

Towering the Autumn leaves
Sheltering heathers from the breeze
A brace between the land and sky
Marking time of centuries

Beyond the Stones
That cast their shadows long
Where the sun may guide us
On a path that we may roam

Beyond the standing stones
