Scythe Song Lyrics


Dougie Maclean Scythe Song


I still remember when
I first watched him work the blade

It was down in the Buckney den

my questions tumbled and he said

O this is not a thing to learn inside a day

Stand closely by me and I’ll try to show the way



CHORUS
You’ve got to hold it right
feel the distance to the ground

Move with a touch so light

until it’s rhythm you have found

Then you’ll know what I know



O wild are the ways we run
when at last untethered out we fly

Straight into the burning sun

need no direction no not I

But ii is not a thing to learn inside a day

Stand closely by me and I’ll try to show the way

CHORUS


So little dancing girl
you want to play a tune

One that your heart can fill

to help you shine under the moon

Well it is not a thing to learn inside a day

Stand closely by me and I’ll try to show the way

You’ve got to hold it right

feel the distance to the sound

Move with a touch so light

until it’s rhythm you have found

Then you’ll know what I know now
