mike scott - edinburgh castle lyrics

Loading...

i woke up in the morning
seven twenty-four
drank a cup of coffee
stepped out the door
i said goodbye
to my old best friend
i took a ride
to the old west end

i walked along princes street
my feet were hurting bad
as i squirmed inside my shoes
i was thinking about my dad
there was the bones of a song
beatin’ around my head
unless i remember it wrong
this is what it said:

edinburgh castle hugging the sky
cold grey stone, humourless and dry
sitting like a cork on top of the town
one of these days i’m gonna blow you down

i jumped on a bus
a trusty number 23
to the royal botanical gardens
where a ghost was calling me
i saw a brace of weeping willows,
a burnt and withered land
i saw a man and a little boy
holding hands

i scanned the skyline
it was like the backdrop of a play
i never saw your heartless beauty
until i’d been away
as i was climbing up the mound
it struck me like a chime
i must have dreamed this scene
about a thousand times !

edinburgh castle hugging the sky
cold grey stone, humourless and dry
sitting like a cork on top of the town
one of these days i’m gonna blow you down

i found myself on forrest road
feeling pretty sore
this city once was mine
but it ain’t mine anymore
and here’s my old school, “jingling geordie’s”
and i must confess
i couldn’t step through that gate
until i’m better dressed

back at waverly station
half dead on my feet
i got on board the four forty-four,
promptly fell asleep
i woke up in queen street
at my journey’s end
i’ve got to say it’s totally great
to be back in glasgow again !

edinburgh castle hugging the sky
cold grey stone, humourless and dry
sitting like a cork on top of my town
one of these days i’m gonna blow you down
