Songtexte Oh North - Live - Blue Rose Code

I often think about the nights
The times before I learned that all my days have got a number
Chasing all the girls of Lilyhill
Bare chested in the rain
And the green and white on a Saturday
Burning through the turnstiles
Singing all the way down Easter Road
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
'Cause I'm still listening for the van
Giving change from out my pocket for an ice cream from the man
And I'm skinning on my knees
And I'm running from the polis hide and seek
Along Great Junction Street
And I always felt this awful shame
Coming from a scheme
And I never took my education, no
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
'Cause I will never grow
Never will we grow so old again, I know, I know
And everywhere I'll be
Everywhere I'll go I'll hold your sorrow in my bones
And even though I said
Even though I swore I'm never coming home again, I did
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
'Cause I'm whistling in the dark
And I've been trying to hold a candle
I've been trying to change my feelings
I was crying in my sleep
And if she wakes to give me comfort
I say I can't recall my sorrow
'Cause I hold you to my breast
And I've been keeping all your secrets
I've been keeping all your secrets
I've been keeping all your secrets, Edina
'Cause I will never grow
Never will I grow so old again, I know, I know
And everywhere I'll be
Everywhere I'll go I'll hold your sorrow in my bones
And even though I said
Even though I swore I'm never coming home again, I did
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Oh north, you've been a friend to me
I cross your border just to bring me peace
Oh north, I was a hungry child
I've been a restless soul, I've been running wild
Oh north, watching your herons fly
But I've been blue on blue on blue and all the while
Oh north, watching your, your lancic ways
All your secrets, I take them away
And oh my north, I've had no place to go
Would you bring me home, would you let me know?
And oh my north, I've had no place to be
Would you bring me home, would you set me free?
Oh north, watching your flag unfurl
My heart it swells with every saltire's curl
Oh north, your lion rampant's pride
But I've been all
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to go
Would you bring me home, would you set me free?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to roam
Would you bring me home, would you let me know?

Oh my Lord, I have had no place to go
Would you bring me home, would you let me know?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to be
Would you bring me home, would you set me free?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to go
Would you bring me home, would you let me know?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to be
Would you bring me home, would you set me free?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to go
Would you bring me home, would you let me know?

Oh my Lord, I have had no place to go
Would you bring me home, would you let me know?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to be
Would you bring me home, would you set me free?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to go
Would you bring me home, would you let me know?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to be
Would you bring me home, would you let me know?

Oh my Lord, I have had no place to go
Would you bring me home, would you let me know?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to be
Would you bring me home, would you set me free?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to go
Would you bring me home, would you let me know?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to be
Would you bring me home, would you set me free?
Oh my Lord, I have had no place to go
Would you bring me home, would you let me know?

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
