Scottish Winds Lyrics

Frightened Rabbit Scottish Winds

Come gather in my lungs Scottish wind
and belt out your blackest poems as the sea around you
sings
When that drone takes to the air a single note to raise
my hair
carry songs beyond my lungs cold Scottish wind

Come fall upon my shoulders Scottish rain
and dissolve all of the worry that has hunched this
back of mine
So let the hurt run down the drain to the resevoir
One day I'll add a drop of my own worries to a dram

Gather heavy in these lungs Scottish wind
all the fat smoke and the ether of the grouse that
clipped your wings
and I will cough just like my grandad and his grandpa
before him
All belief into these lungs oh Scottish wind

Come burn around my body Scottish blood
I'll try not to spill a drop, oh I'm sure you spilled
enough
and the English f..cking rule won't mean nothing to
these towns
I'll run forever in my veins bold Scottish blood

Bring the whisper to my mouth soft Scottish wind
Just enough to say "I love you" to the girl who keeps
me sane
take the stupid things I've said, blow them miles and
miles away
Thank you in advance Scottish wind
Thank you in advance Scottish wind
