Dougie Maclean - Stolen lyrics

It's been stolen from me Taken never to return Rendered blind I cannot see Back along the shining way we've come No more the stinging tears will fall Fall to wash the spirit clean Almost empty almost all Blind refused to see what might have been How can the lover's heart proclaim Once the poetry has gone? These naked words are not the same Stranded in some place we don't belong No more the ancient tales to tell Words to lead our children on Left unopened where they fell All our timeless wisdom now has gone And so the children bear the loss Of what's been gained and what's been lost
