Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thug m isteach duit
Tusa mo mhian
Tusa mo mhian
(My eyes long for you,
I gave in,
You are my desire)
No heart hangs on distant water
What enchantment lies in this world
I wander westward my heart desires
With seas alive
Shadow me under the mountains of time
Guide me to the endless paths
No tears fall on stoney highways
That skyline splendour lights my way
We wander westward our hearts desire
With seas of light
Shadow us under the mountains of time
Guide us to endless paths
Davy Spillane's "A Place Among the Stones" is a haunting Celtic-infused instrumental piece that captures the essence of the majestic beauty of Ireland's natural landscapes. It is a mesmerizing blend of Uillean pipes, fiddles, and subtle keyboard arrangements that evoke a sense of longing, introspection, and adventure.
The lyrics, while seemingly simple, are poetic and meaningful. They speak of the singer's deep yearning for a loved one and the power of nature to inspire and transform. The lines "My eyes long for you, I gave in, You are my desire" refer to the singer's surrender to the pull of love and the beloved's irresistible charm. The following lines, "No heart hangs on distant water, What enchantment lies in this world," are a reflection on the ephemeral nature of existence and the mystery of life that surrounds us. The final lines, "We wander westward our hearts desire, With seas of light, Shadow us under the mountains of time, Guide us to endless paths," describe the singer's sense of wanderlust, his/her search for meaning and purpose, and the cathartic journey that lies ahead.

I gave in
Tusa mo mhian
You are my desire
No heart hangs on distant water
There is no attachment to faraway places
What enchantment lies in this world
What is the magic that exists in this world?
I wander westward my heart desires
I am following the call of my heart to travel towards the West
With seas alive
Amidst the vibrant seas
Shadow me under the mountains of time
Protect me in the shadow of the ancient mountains
Guide me to the endless paths
Lead me to the paths that go on infinitely
No tears fall on stoney highways
There is no sorrow on the rocky roads
That skyline splendour lights my way
The magnificent horizon illuminates my path
We wander westward our hearts desire
We follow our hearts to travel towards the West
With seas of light
Amidst the luminous seas
Shadow us under the mountains of time
Protect us in the shadow of the ancient mountains
Guide us to endless paths
Lead us to the paths that go on infinitely
