"Since I Left This Town" lyrics

"Since I Left This Town"

I was born in a land of grace
That I left behind up a long dark road
And I like the noise of an urban place
But the city life is not my own

Its been a while since I walked this beats
And I can't remember where to go
And the sunny side of a Glasgow street
Passed me by some time ago

Oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
So get up, get up you're standing on solid ground
Restless nights in the city lights are all behind us now
And the sun only shines so bright when your homeward bound
Its been four long years since I left this town

Street lights shaking in the wind
Sandstone red on a tenement wall
Highs a multitude of sins
For cowering men who once stood tall

Oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
So get up, get up you're standing on solid ground
Restless nights in the city lights are all behind us now
And the sun only shines so bright when your homeward bound
Its been four long years since I left this town

So brothers there's an open sky
But I can't walk this path alone
Arm and arm and eye to eye
Our sentience will guide us home

Oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
So get up, get up you're standing on solid ground
Restless nights in the city lights are all behind us now
And the sun only shines so bright when your homeward bound
Its been four long years since I left this town

So get up get up, you're standing on solid ground
Restless nights in the city lights are all behind us now
And the sun only shines so bright when your homeward bound
Its been four long years since I left this town
