"Silver In The Blue" lyrics - MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER
[Verse 1: Julie Fowlis]
Silver in the blue
The pull of northern latitudes
Guided by Earth and moon
But the lines are fading
[Chorus: Julie Fowlis, Julie Fowlis, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Karine Polwart]
From the source, you drift back to a future time
At the shore, you must turn and face the tide
That moves you
[Verse 2: Julie Fowlis, Julie Fowlis, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Karine Polwart, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Karine Polwart]
Silver in the blue
The pull of northern latitudes
Guided by pumps and moon (Silver in the blue)
But the course is changing (Course is changing)
[Chorus: Julie Fowlis, Julie Fowlis, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Karine Polwart]
From the source, you drift back to a future time
At the shore, you will turn and face the tide
From the source, you drift back to a future time
At the shore, you must turn and face the tide
That moves you
[Bridge: Julie Fowlis, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Karine Polwart, Julie Fowlis, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Karine Polwart]
To other worlds you go
A thousand miles from these shores
Shafts and vines of silver light (Silver light)
To other worlds you go (To other worlds you go)
A thousand miles from these shores
By the herdsman on the dike, rivers in flight (herdsman on the dike, rivers in flight)
To other worlds you go (To other worlds you go)
A thousand miles from these shores
Run and flow to Arctic skies (Arctic skies)
Arctic skies
[Verse 3: Julie Fowlis, Julie Fowlis, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Karine Polwart, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Karine Polwart]
Silver in the blue
The pull of northern latitudes
Guided by arc and moon (Silver in the blue)
Though the lines are fading (Silver in the blue)
[Outro: Karine Polwart]
Pray the world will waken
