The Peaks Overlookin’

Lookin’ out from the peaks overlooking Cape Clear
Waves are beating the rocks, as the storms drawing near
Gray and rocky, they drive me to follow your here
Lookin’ out from the peaks overlooking Cape Clear

Black rocks at attention, sleeplessly their guard stand
Keep watch and protect St. Kieran’s island
The sea sprays my face and bites at my hands
Timeless moments swirl past us like fine grains of sand

Tears fall as the salt stings my eyes till they smart
Is there any hope left in a half broken heart?
Far too used to endings, far too scared of starts
Is there anything left that can tear us apart?

Lookin’ out from the peaks overlooking Cape Clear
Waves are beating the rocks, as the storms drawing near
Gray and rocky, they drive me to follow your here
Lookin’ out from the peaks overlooking Cape Clear

Through the mysts I can see you, alone on the beach
The wind whips your hair, have you found what you seek?
Breathless in my silence, heart beat fast and knees weak
Fate stands with me as I look down from the peaks

Finally, I reach out and touch you at last
Time has parted the curtain t’ween present and past
Your face so familiar, it’s like coming home
Two souls once separate, no longer alone

Lookin’ out from the peaks overlooking Cape Clear
Waves are beating the rocks, as the storms drawing near
Gray and rocky, they drive me to follow your here
Lookin’ out from the peaks overlooking Cape Clear
