Lyrics Come the Spring Time / Scotland - Blue Rose Code

Hark the trembling rivers running
And over the golden eagle winds
With the snowdrop fit for busting
Deliver the springtime

From the night we drove from London
And from the mainland we set sail
And all of Stornoway was quiet
Save for the church bell

If I asked you for your hand tonight
If I swore I'd let you in
And if I said you'd be my only lover
And I would sing this to our children

If I asked you for your hand tonight
And I knelt before the northern sky
With aurora borealis is my witness
My darling, I do confess
But girl would you say yes

Through the dewdrops we walked barefoot
And watched the herons fish at dawn
You pitched your easel on the jetty
And painted though the morning sun

You know I've sung a thousand stories
About these shores that give me peace
And how I leave my love for London
For its antithesis

If I asked yo for your hand tonight
If I swore I let you in
And if I said you'd be my only lover, my only lover
And I would sing this to our children

If I asked you for your hand tonight
And I knelt before the northern sky
With aurora borealis is my witness
My darling, I do confess
But oh, would you say yes
Would you say yes?

That requires great love of deeply to thee
And the configudation of our land
To guide you legal conscious of all fine sheddens
A griminance and slight symbols
'Cause he'd the last
The voice that speaks so softly
To see the swell unfold upon a flight
A statue carved out a whole countries marble
Oh my darling, Scotland
Of only you to thank
Would you be like Spain
Be like a hide in the window
Moving to an old things carefully, carefully to unfold
Moving a fraction of flower here
Placing an anchovy there
Without breaking anything, anything at all

So, I gathered unto myself
All the loose ends of Scotland
By naming them and accepting them
No, I will
By loving them and identifying myself with them
How could I attempt to express to you all in a song of hope

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

So I've gathered unto myself
All the loose ends of Scotland
By naming them and accepting them
No, I will
By loving them and identifying myself with, oh
How could I attempt to express to you all in a song of hope
Oh-woah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Well
