Sometimes I'm not sure how I got here
What made me come I'll never know
I didn't know a single person
When I arrived five years ago
And in that time, I've found a family
Who seem to like me as I am
They know I'm strange - they don't give a damn
Sometimes my head feels slightly broken
Sometimes I think I know it all
And in the moments when I'm flying
I wonder how it feels to fall
And when I'm once again reminded
Things never go the way I planned
I lose control - but I understand
I've never travelled to the Islands
I only know the Central Belt
But if I haven't seen the Highlands,
It's not for lack of things I've felt
For if I spend my life in Scotland
I'll have a lifetime to see Skye
For this is the place - where I'd like to die
I stayed a long time at the party
Because the dancing was divine
Because the people there were lovely
Because I can't keep track of time
And on the Citylink 900
Got on our way at 4am
I took the stairs up to the window
To see the darkness on the land
And as we sped our way through Harthill
The stars flew past me where I sat
I fell asleep and took my shoes off,
Someone had given me their hat
I thought of all my hopeful failures
I thought of everything I'd lost
Someday I'll tell you all about it:
A field covered under frost
And on the whole - it's not been too bad.
