Lyrics Runrig – Onar

You are the outer nothing, you are the inner core
You are the memory of everything that’s gone before
Ùrlar a-staigh — crùnludh a-mach
A big wheel and a million moons obliterate the dark

O cha robh mi, cha robh mi, cha robh mi
Cha robh mi nam onar ann
O cha robh mi, cha robh mi, cha robh mi
Cha robh mi nam onar ann

See the blade of nature cut the spinning earth
Warm and wet in a deep green breath
Fragments of colour, shards of chance
Come screaming out of black holes to the rhythm of the dance

O cha robh mi, cha robh mi, cha robh mi
Cha robh mi nam onar ann
O cha robh mi, cha robh mi, cha robh mi
Cha robh mi nam onar ann

I came walking out of nowhere, didn’t ask to make this move
You were standing at my milestones in the summers of my youth
You’re in the breath I’m breathing, around me like a ring
Photo-bombing all my moments and filling me with wings

O cha robh mi, cha robh mi, cha robh mi
Cha robh mi nam onar ann
O cha robh mi, cha robh mi, cha robh mi
Cha robh mi nam onar ann

And if the waters start abating, go release a dove
And tell me if the saving comes in chaos or in love
Like lighting, it’s frightening, spark to a fuse
All my chips were on a number that was never mine to lose

O cha robh mi, cha robh mi, cha robh mi
Cha robh mi nam onar ann
