Living in a place with time
Living in a place where reality is
Standing on a big broad line
Watching it all go by
Ah, but you're taking it all away
The music, the tongue and the old refrains
You're coming here to play
And you're pulling the roots from a dying age
Remember the Buachaille Mor
Reaching for the skies from the barren shores
Watching over the village of burns
And counting the days since the gael kept home
But the stranger claims it now
Sitting like a king with his gold from the south
Don't you see the waves of wealth
Washing away the soul from the land
Chorus
Here come the Clearances my friend
Silently our history is coming to life again
We feel the breeze from the shore to come
And up and down the coast
We're waiting for the wheel to turn
Free were the fields of fern
Free was the fishing in the coves of care
Empty are the homes of old
Empty for the sake of summer's cause
Yes, you're taking it all away
The music, the tongue and the old refrains
You're coming here to play
And you're pulling the roots from a dying age
Capercaillie is a Scottish folk band formed in the 1980s by Donald Shaw and fronted by Karen Matheson. The group originates from Argyll, a region of western Scotland and is named after the bird Capercaillie, Tetrao urogallus, which in the British Isles occurs only in Scotland. Capercaillie is known for its traditional Scottish music reinterpreted with modern and experimental influences. Their characteristic sound combines traditional melodies, orchestral arrangements and Matheson's powerful voice. Among their most representative songs are "Ailein Duinn", "The Parting Glass" and "Coigeach". The album "Còmhla" (1994) is considered a turning point in their career, achieving great success both in Scotland and abroad. Capercaillie has collaborated with numerous Scottish and international artists, contributing to the dissemination of traditional Scottish music worldwide.
