The Long Grey Line (Alan Hunter)
You were born to decent city folk In a hoose wi' a country name And you walked the streets your faither walked Ta grow up just the same And ye worked in school and ye kept the rule
And ye cried the tinker doon 'Cause he'd spend his time on the Long Grey Line Wouldna be tied to toon Spend his time on the Long Grey Line Wouldna be tied to toon
So ye worked hard in a college room Career was aye in mind But ye never got doon tae travelling roon Ye said there's always time And ye never gave one moment's thought Tae what it means to be free Or the tinker's time on the long grey line And the sights that a tinker sees Or the tinker's time on the long grey line And the sights that a tinker sees
Then ye bought a wee hoose and ye settled doon A wife and a brace o' weans And ye watched the things that ye gathered roon Begin tae look like chains Ye began tae doubt but ye stuck it out Working nine tae five While the tinker's fine on the long grey line Aye keepin' his dreams alive 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 The tinker's fine on the long grey line Aye keepin' his dreams alive
Now ye're looking back on all ye've done Seventy years of age On summers come and winters gone
When the hoose became a cage Though the comforts count for something now Ye pretend ye dinnae care That ye found nae time for the long grey line With yer hairt cryin' oot for mair That ye found nae time for the long grey line With yer hairt cryin' oot for mair
Well, there's mair to life than they teach in the school Mair tae see and hear And mair tae man than o' patch o' land In the finnish o' his years But the saddest sight is the fading light Of a man who's chance is gone So I'll gie some time tae the long grey line And I'll ken when I'm bound for home Gie some time tae the long grey line And I'll ken when I'm bound for home Gie some time tae the long grey line And I'll ken when I'm bound for home
