Talking with my father lyrics

I'm talking with my father

He's talking with his son

And I don't need to look any further

for the one I have become

He says listen to that curlew

That's a sound I love to hear

It's a strange reflection that we look through

Oh that finally finds us here

In this place where life's heart thunders

In this place where time holds still

In this place of harmony and wonder

And values not of gold fulfil

I'm walking with my father

Across these gentle Perth shire hills

It's timeless mysteries that we gather

To make the memories that we fill

He says don't fix what is not broken

No need to find what's not been lost

It's a heavy gate we have to open

And endless field we have to cross

In this place where life's heart thunders

In this place where time holds still

In this place of harmony and wonder

And values not of gold fulfil

There will always be the brave one

There'll be the one who turns away

With all too many things left undone

Oh and so much left to say

I'm talking with my father

He's talking with his son

And I don't need to look any further

for the one I have become

In this place where life's heart thunders

In this place where time holds still

In this place of harmony and wonder

And values not of gold fulfil
