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 The burned out ruins And I'm watching And wondering Feeling everything from long ago
