- From the Wheel In Motion DVD. The song is from 'The Big Wheel'(1991).
When you close your eyes there's a frightened pride that lives for you
That your mother's life and your father's eyes can't hide
You had no choice didn't ask the dice too fall for you
Still your courage comes like thunder through the skies
You're always the winner, the victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter you'll never be alone
For evermore the winner
The taker and the giver
Somewhere through that winter you will not grow old
So you carry time down the tortured line where mysteries show
Well hidden from life's learned and life's wise
Mans useless ways and worthless conversation
Lie well exposed and humbled in your smile
(Chorus)
This voice makes me goose pimples all over, again and again.
And this song goes straight into the heart.
very well spoken
that is exactly how i feel, i do believe that he has best best male voice of all times i really love it, and it sounds so peaceful and kind
lytken Thx ;-) and you´re right, Donnie was THE voice of RUNRIG, the voice of Scotland ... and so many RUNRIG-Songs are Donnie-Songs ;-)
Donnie was the real voice.
I am in love with this song right now...these guys are great!
memories of running off to the Hebrides to escape from a broken heart and an impossible situation, this song still has the power, like now, to reduce me to tears. The impossible situation resolved itself, bthe broken heart only muted itself, resurfaces at times when my defenses are down
I love this song - wish Bruce would sing it also
He defo doesn't have the voice of donnie
It was a great day when I was introduced to the music of Runrig. They are among the best of the best!
All I can say is pure class............
Runrig ~ Always The Winner. When you close your eyes there's
A frightened pride that lives
For you. That your mothers life
And your fathers eyes can't
Hide. You had no choice didn't
Ask the dice too fall for you.
Still your courage comes like
Thunder through the skies. So
You carry time down the tortured
Line where mysteries show. Well
Hidden from lifes learned and
Lifes wise. Mans useless ways
And worthless conversation lie
Well exposed and humbled in your
Smile. Always the winner, the
Victor and the giver. Somewhere
Through that winter you'll never
Be alone. For evermore the
Winner. The taker and the giver.
Somewhere through that winter
You will not grow old. Still you
Run out in the morning with the
Boys and the girls. The miracle
Of innocence on a head of curls.
We'll search every reason
Wherever we roam to find a place
For these broken hearts and
Bones. We'll keep a fire on the
Hillsides after the summers gone
And we'll wait here till the
War-wounded come home.
this is bauitiful song
Great song, no question.

music does not get any better!
My fiance introduced me to Runrig, he's Scottish and i'm from Northern Ireland :)
Scottish rock...rocks!!
this is a favorite of mine,runrig at their best & great video too.
Forgive me if my interpretation is wrong, but to my mind this is a deeply religious song, addressed to Christ and telling of the eternal victory that belongs to Him-even through the winter of sin that will engulf the earth until He comes again and takes His war-weary people home. It begins in address to the young Christ who lived among us all those years ago, at once an ordinary boy and a "miracle of innocence". He already knows of the dark fate set in store for Him, and yet is filled with courage to meet it. The smile that humbles and exposes suggests His simple message of love, worth infinitely more than any philosophy man could come up with, despite what the world's learned and wise may think. Further clues are provided by lines like "the taker and the giver", which clearly echo biblical language.
Thank you for posting this vid--my daughter first "introduced" me to Runrig last year and we're both huge fans of their music. First time I've heard this particular song--beautiful!
I love this song, BUT most of ALL i love MY MAN TOM:-)
I like it too
The snowball fight
Great. Thank you!
I am led to believe that the song was written for a boy by the name of David Gibson who died as a result of leukemia (A family member) He passed away in the early 1990's.
@erlmort Maybe it's for the best that he sings his own songs he has recorded with Runrig, with exception of a few classics of course! They both have their own accents ...
Just bought, "The Big Wheel," off of Amazon :0)
@scottishbabe2009 Thank you Coutionor!!!!! :)
