[Verse 1]
There's a stone on the headland
Where the old ones used to pray
Said the sky comes down to touch you
In the grey before the day
And the wind has a memory
And the hill has a hum
Oh-ee-ah-ohh, like the morning's always leaning
On a world that's still to come

[Pre-Chorus - rising keen]
Oh-ee-ah… ee-yah-ohh… the veil is wearing thin,
Ae-ee-ohh-aehh… the light is leaning in

[Chorus - Full Cry]
And they called them the thin places
Oh-ee-OH-ee, where the veil wears away
But the veil was always paper
We were blind until today
There is no distance, no distance
Not a step and not a span
Aaah-ee-yah, we have lived and moved and breathed in Him
Since the world began

[Verse 2]
I went looking for the doorway
On the cliffs above the sea
Found it wasn't in the heather
Oh-ee-ah, it was opening in me
For the One who dreamed the mountains
Never set them far from home
He is closer than the marrow
He was never on a throne alone

[Pre-Chorus - rising keen]
Oh-ee-ah… ee-yah-ohh… the veil is wearing thin,
Ae-ee-ohh-aehh… the light is leaning in

[Chorus - Full Cry]
And they called them the thin places
Oh-ee-OH-ee, where the veil wears away
But the veil was always paper
We were blind until today
There is no distance, no distance
Not a step and not a span
Aaah-ee-yah, we have lived and moved and breathed in Him
Since the world began

[Bridge - Ancient, Sean-nós]
Ee-ya-oooh… thin, thin, the morning is thin
Ae-ee-ohh… the light is leaning, leaning in
Not far, not far, never far
Oh-ee-ah-ohh, we are held in the Mind that made the stars

[Final Chorus - Widest]
So call them the thin places
Oh-ee-OH-ee, where the veil wears away
But the veil was always paper
And it's worn clean through today
There is no distance, NO DISTANCE
Not a step and not a span
Aaah-ee-yah-ohh, we have lived and moved and breathed in Him
Since the world began

[Extended Outro - Keening]
Thin… thin… oh-ee-ah, the morning is thin…
Ee-yah-ohh… no distance, no distance…
Aaah-ee-yah-ohh… since the world began…
