Lyrics:

Way up there in the poison glen
The sun's going down on the misty mountain
And I'm watching and wondering
Feeling something from long ago

Haunted echo that surrounds the glen
The heather creeping through the burned-out ruins
And I'm watching and wondering
Feeling spirits of long ago

Who in the valley shed the poison tear?
No one knows an old legend of a mythical hero
And I'm watching and wondering
Feeling something from long ago

May this vale be my silver lining
Pleasing nature with a heart's desire
And I'm watching and wondering
Feeling everything from long ago
