Runrig- Precious Years Live

RUNRIG - PRECIOUS YEARS - LIVE at Barrowlands 1990
******************************************************************
It's all over now, no more summers in heaven
After World War Two wed and a life of ups and downs
I see it now, precious even on paper
A young man and his bride and someone to make time stand still
But now I know and I don't want to believe it
Where does it leave you now
That the precious years are gone
All things remain to ignore and outlive you
From the man in the moon to the greenhills outside your door
Alone you came so alone you must go now
There's no mountain on earth can ever outlive your soul
But now I know and I don't want to believe it
Where does it leave you now
That the precious years are gone
I know you well, you'll be nothing but grateful
Never let it be said they were spent in thoughtless ways
Warm winds blow 'cross the ties that bind forever
For a place in the sun and for the hearts of love a home
But now I know and I don't want to believe it
Where does it leave you now
That the precious years are gone

My husband and I, had our precious years. 52 years, I still have the Precious Years in my heart. I love you my man.

My mum and dad's song. Married after WW2, had a bloody hard life, but their love for each other carried them through every adversity. They're together again, and there's not a day goes by I don't think of them, and miss them terribly.

[@CasperScott-qq6ip]

I'll write this in English as no one reads Gaelic. Thankyou Danyr for the previous years all 16 of them. A brave soldier who paid the ultimate price. Your faithful devastated wife

What a great live Performance. What a great voice 👍👍👍

[@gwenethkerr4471]

Hi, have had it on video for for almost twenty years, it melts my heart.The words, conviction and clarity of voice is wonderful.Rory's voice in the background is equally beautiful. Luckily for me they came to the West Country a few years back and my ex hubby got tickets as a surprise, it wasn't Donnie singing however, it was the best night of my life. Have several copies in case I wear them out!

[@warrioral]

Donnie Munro.. a truly unique vocal talent. Caught him with the band a couple of times after this at Hammersmith 1993 and Albert Hall 1996. Never forget those moments.

[@acrosseastleigh]

A beautiful and haunting song. "There's no mountain on earth that can ever outlive your soul." Makes you think of eternal things and well as making the best use of the precios years we have now and be ready for eternity. Sometime I find myself humming or singing this song for days on end.

[@togs71]

For josparkes: From what I've gathered, Donny went into politics, but still performs. His voice is still amazing!

He stood for Labour in the 1997 election but lost to the Liberal Democrat candidate.
