"Glasgow Love Story" lyrics
18 years old in a new place I threw down my suitcase and left my belongings behind
My natural sense of adventure had painted a picture of wonderful things in my mind
Underground train to Buchanan Street station, looked up to an urban horizon
Didn't yet know where I wanted to go so I set off expecting surprise in the night
There's no way to turn back the time
And no reason to try
Looking back's all that we have once we say goodbye
She was a mystical vision, her eyes seemed to glisten, I thought she was out of my league
Saw her and wanted to meet her so I downed a Tequila and wondered how hard it could be
I was a boy with just youth on my side and a healthy mistrust of the city
She seemed to know everything, took me under her wing, it was like she took pity on me
There's no way to turn back the time
And no reason to try
Looking back's all that we have once we say goodbye
Well the band on the stage played a love song so I tried to sing along but none of my lyrics were right
She said you're not much of a dancer so I'm not the answer if you want romance here tonight
I said I see why you'd mention that now but I promise that's not my intention somehow
I'm just a boy from the country and I'm here to go and see the bright, metropolitan lights
There's no way to turn back the time
And no reason to try
Looking back's all that we have once we say goodbye
Well she kissed me goodnight on the corner and I swear I saw her cry as she was walking away
So I threw myself in a hackney and sighed as the taxi drove off in the opposite lane
I knew that I'd never see her again but I'll always remember the time that we spent
On the night of my Glasgow love story and I'm only sorry that I can't go back to that day
There's no way to turn back the time
And no reason to try
Looking back's all that we have once we say
There's no way to turn back the time
And no reason to try
Looking back's all that we have once we say goodbye
My natural sense of adventure had painted a picture of wonderful things in my mind
Underground train to Buchanan Street station, looked up to an urban horizon
Didn't yet know where I wanted to go so I set off expecting surprise in the night
There's no way to turn back the time
And no reason to try
Looking back's all that we have once we say goodbye
She was a mystical vision, her eyes seemed to glisten, I thought she was out of my league
Saw her and wanted to meet her so I downed a Tequila and wondered how hard it could be
I was a boy with just youth on my side and a healthy mistrust of the city
She seemed to know everything, took me under her wing, it was like she took pity on me
There's no way to turn back the time
And no reason to try
Looking back's all that we have once we say goodbye
Well the band on the stage played a love song so I tried to sing along but none of my lyrics were right

There's no way to turn back the time
And no reason to try
Looking back's all that we have once we say goodbye
