When you go will you send back
|
A letter from America?
|
Take a look up the railtrack
|
From Miami to Canada
|
Broke off from my work the other day
|
I spent the evening thinking about
|
All the blood that flowed away
|
Across the ocean to the second chance
|
I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land?
|
|
I've looked at the ocean
|
Tried hard to imagine
|
The way you felt the day you sailed
|
From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia
|
We should have held you
|
We should have told you
|
But you know our sense of timing
|
We always wait too long
|
Lochaber no more
|
Sutherland no inure
|
Lewis no more
|
Skye no more......
|
|
I wonder my blood
|
Will you ever return
|
To help us kick the life back
|
To a dying mutual friend
|
Do we not love her?
|
Do we not say we love her?
|
Do we have to roam the world
|
To prove how much it hurts?
|
Bathgate no more
|
Linwood no more
|
Methil no more
|
Irvine no more.
