[00:00.00]Miracles of Nature - Christy Moore
[00:25.28]Written by：Christy Moore
[00:50.57]I took a rocky road up Croagh Patrick
[00:53.11]And a mossy path up Sliabh Gallion Braes
[00:57.74]And I plunged in the deep at Brandon Creek
[01:00.25]And slept in a glade beyond Dún Maebh
[01:04.58]All alone along the Wicklow Way peace
[01:08.34]And solitude I found
[01:11.53]When I reached the slopes of Mullaghmore
[01:13.87]I could have sworn
[01:15.35]That was the holy ground
[01:17.42]
[01:18.80]Minister minister
[01:20.74]Pause for reflection
[01:22.80]As you fly by helicopter
[01:25.00]In pursuit of re election
[01:27.18]An obsession with affairs of State
[01:30.07]And legislature
[01:31.83]Leaves little time for us to share
[01:34.97]In the miracles of nature
[01:38.71]
[01:40.87]Like the fairy foxglove
[01:43.02]And the rusty back fern at Poll Na Gollum
[01:46.98]
[01:48.20]The silver cranesbill
[01:50.43]And columbine at Caher Connell
[01:53.44]
[01:54.17]The juniper at Bellharbour
[01:57.27]The wintergreen around Slaibh Carron
[02:01.06]
[02:03.51]These miracles of nature
[02:05.75]Surviving in the crevices of the Burren
[02:09.49]
[02:10.94]There's gonna be sewerage schemes
[02:12.61]And septic tanks
[02:13.74]Tarmac and concrete mixers
[02:15.89]And rumours circling Co Clare
[02:18.40]Promising lots of nixers
[02:20.41]And car parks to be levelled
[02:22.48]Infills and elevations
[02:24.88]And when all the dust is settled
[02:27.16]A handful of jobs
[02:29.02]
[02:31.93]And relations
[02:34.47]
[02:36.44]Nature took
[02:38.58]Two million years
[02:40.86]To sculpture Mullaghmore
[02:44.12]
[02:45.58]Carved
[02:47.49]From the ancient rock
[02:49.86]By the freezing ice and snow
[02:54.37]As the sun shines down on the mountain
[02:58.86]At the broad Atlantic ocean
[03:03.25]
[03:05.85]You can hear the small birds singing
[03:10.01]On the Burren down round Mullaghmore
