lyrics

On a Scottish farm, down by the river
That’s where I made my bed
She comes to me, sweet as the heather
As the sun sets upon the glen

And she says, oh no
You cannot go
You can’t be leaving your whole life behind
But as the falling star leads to the sunrise
I’ll be upon the tide

I stand on deck, waves bathed in moonlight
Gazing out o’er the sea
A falling star makes me remember
The words that she said to me

And she said, oh no
You cannot go
You can’t be leaving your whole life behind
But as the falling star leads to the sunrise
I’ll be upon the tide

The snow piles high, and the wind blows right through ya
Chilling me to the bone
In a lumber camp up in northern Algoma
I dream of that girl back home

And she says, oh no
You cannot go
You can’t be leaving your whole life behind
But as the falling star leads to the sunrise
I’ll be upon that tide
I’ll be upon that tide

“Great lyric perspective,” Vallance said after reviewing Paul’s I Don’t Wanna Write A Song. An “excellent song.”

This is honest music.
