The Night I Heard Caruso Sing |
The highlands and the lowlands |
Are the roots my father knows |
The holidays at Oban |
And the towns around Montrose |
But even as he sleeps |
They’re loading bombs into the hills |
And the waters in the lochs |
Can run deep but never still |
I’ve thought of having children |
But I’ve gone and changed my mind |
It’s hard enough to watch the news |
Let alone explain it to a child |
To cast your eye 'cross nature |
Over fields of rape and corn |
And tell him without flinching |
Not to fear where he’s been born |
Then someone sat me down last night |
And I heard Caruso sing |
He’s almost as good as Presley |
And if I only do one thing |
I’ll sing songs to my father |
I’ll sing songs to my child |
It’s time to hold your loved ones |
While the chains are loosed and the world |
Runs wild |
And even as we speak |
They’re loading bombs onto a white train |
How can we afford to ever sleep |
So sound again |
