Feather On The Clyde

Feather On The Clyde

Well there’s a river that runs through Glasgow And makes her but it breaks her and takes her into the parks And her current just like my blood flows Down from the hills, round aching bones to my restless heart Well I would swim but the river is so wide And I’m scared I won’t make it to the other side Well God knows I’ve failed but He knows that I’ve tried I long for something that’s safe and warm But all I have is all that is gone I’m as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde Well on one side all the lights glow And the folks know and the kids go where the music and the drinking starts On the other side where no cars go Up to the hills that stand alone like my restless heart Well I would swim but the river is so wide And I’m scared I won’t make it to the other side Well God knows I’ve failed but He knows that I’ve tried I long for something that’s safe and warm But all I have is all that is gone I’m as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde Well the sun sets late in Glasgow And the daylight and the city part And I think of you in Glasgow Cos you’re all that’s safe, you’re all that’s warm in my restless heart
