lyrics

The summer sun hits the township,
The beacon has been light.

We head up north to Creag na h-Airighe,
We just can't wait to go.

Time away from the sagart,
Hide from prying eyes.

We reconnect with each other,
Remember what we found.

///

Is this kind of summer life;
The highlight of our time.

If that's true, then who are you,
To stand there in our view.

///
We meet a man on the hillside,
Keeps a thousand tales.

He claims to guard the old traditions;
A single source of truth.

He starts to tell your mathair's stories,
Our very own seanchaidh.

The details wrong and the warmth is gone,
But still he pushes on and on and on.

///

The tales we tell are for ourselves,
Not for anyone else.

Don't want collecting or safe-keeping,
By a man like you.

Is this kind of summer life,
The highlight of our time.

If that's true, then who the hell are you,
To stand there in our view.
