Dougie Maclean: "Feel So Near"


the old man looks out to the island
he says this place is endless thin
there's no real distance here to mention
we might all fall in, all fall in
no distance to the spirits of the living
no distance to the spirits of the dead
and as he turned his eyes were shining
and he proudly said, he proudly said
i feel so near to the howling of the winds
i feel so near to the crashing of the waves
i feel so near to the flowers in the fields
i feel so near
