Scottish Winds

[Verse 1]

Come gather in my lungs, Scottish wind

Belt out your blackest poems

As the sea around you sings

When that drone takes to the air

A single note to raise my hair

Carry songs beyond my lungs cold, Scottish wind

[Verse 2]

Come fall upon my shoulders, Scottish rain

And dissolve all of the worry

That has hunched this back of mine

So let the hurt run down the drain

To the reservoir one day

I'll add a drop of my own worries to a dram

[Verse 3]

Gather heavy in these lungs Scottish winds

All the fag smoke in the ether

Of the grouse has clipped your wings

Now I cough just like my granddad

And his grandpa before him

Ah, blow youth into these lungs, oh, Scottish wind

[Verse 4]

Come burl around my body, Scottish blood

I'll try not to spill a drop

Oh, I'm sure you've spilled enough

And the English fucking rule

Who mean nothing to these times

Ah, run forever in my veins, bold Scottish blood

[Verse 5]

And the whisper to my mouth, soft Scottish winds

Just enough to say "I love you"

To the girl who keeps me sane

Take the stupid things I've said

Blow them miles and miles away

Thank you in advance, Scottish wind

Thank you in advance, Scottish wind
