Letra de 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
