Lyrics

It's springtime but I still miss the streets at dawn
And in the morning walking your bridges home
As I sit and stare at all of england's souls
I tell you something
I wish I was in edinburgh

I don't mind being by myself
Don't wanta be anywhere else
Just wanna be in edinburgh
I wish I was an edinburgh man

You can leave me on the shelf
I'm an edinburgh man myself
I will always give you help

It's summertime but I still miss your skies so clear
Sitting and staring on a beach somewhere
I'll tell you something
I wish I was in edinburgh

Don't give a toss about private wealth
And history just repeats itself
Keep me away from the festival
And just give me a warm quarter-gill*

They say you project yourself
But I'm an edinburgh man myself

It's wintertime and I still see the cobble stones
Clacking over your streets at dawn
I was really poor since I left edinburgh

I'm ok just by myself
Cause our miserable king won't protect us from ourselves
How I wish I was in edinburgh
How I wish I was in edinburgh

I was always in good health
I'm an edinburgh man myself
I will always give you help
I'm an edinburgh man myself
