18 Jun 20 - 12:58 AM (#4059794) Subject: Lyr Add: WHERE THE SCOTS PINE GROW From: Joe Offer Here's a song that warrants exploration: WHERE THE SCOTS PINE GROW Ken Campbell, Bridgegate Music For all the good, honest, ordinary Scots folk who made our land, and similarly contributed to many other nations the world over… Take me where the Scots Pine grow, to the land that fills my soul Let me see the grand design, the warp and weft in the strands of time We watched them come, we watched them go, the honest folk, the seeds they sow, They made this precious land, kith and kin, heart and hand. CHORUS: So fare you well, you ran out of time, Fare you well, you made this land of mine. The old boys they all knew the way, they’ve seen it all, some would say So stop and listen can’t you hear, their words of wisdom in your ear The moths that circle round the flame, it’s just a thing you can’t explain A head, a heart, a clear true eye, they would never pass you by So fare you well, you ran out of time Fare you well, you made this land of mine Out on the strands, along the roads, their heart (unclear) it lives their spirit bold And by the side of Scotland’s best, missed and loved their heads they rest And did you see the grand design, what makes them stand out in time They sang their mystic melody, and carved their Celtic tapestry So fare you well, you ran out of time Fare you well, you made this land of mine So fare you well, you ran out of time Fare you well, you made this land of mine http://www.linskenscotland.scot/2014/06/26/where-the-scots-pine-grow/ Can't find a YouTube link, but here' s Spotify link: |
