Feather on the Clyde
Well there’s a river that runs through GlasgowAnd makes her but it breaks her and takes her into the parksAnd her current just like my blood flowsDown from the hills, round aching bones to my restless heart
Well I would swim but the river is so wideAnd I’m scared I won’t make it to the other sideWell God knows I’ve failed but He knows that I’ve triedI long for something that’s safe and warmBut all I have is all that is goneI’m as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde
Well on one side all the lights glowAnd the folks know and the kids go where the music and the drinking startsOn the other side where no cars goUp to the hills that stand alone like my restless heart
Well I would swim but the river is so wideAnd I’m scared I won’t make it to the other sideWell God knows I’ve failed but He knows that I’ve triedI long for something that’s safe and warmBut all I have is all that is goneI’m as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde
Well the sun sets late in GlasgowAnd the daylight and the city partAnd I think of you in GlasgowCos you’re all that’s safe, you’re all that’s warm in my restless heart
