The was pulling out of the station

I was bouncing the baby on my knee

You said that all we were leaving

Was long nights and longing to be free



Waving to those smiling faces

You told them we'd be back before they knew

They said that they were longing to change places

Wishing they could buy that ticket too



CHORUS

The hardest part's not leaving

The hard parts not going away

It's the life you have to take with you

And the price the other people have to pay





Now, I'm not one for nostalgia

There are far too many things left to do

But I'd rather be in George Square than Trafalgar

And the only thing that's stopping me is you



You said that you wanted to travel

There were things that you wanted to see

I see the knots you try to unravel

And the only thing that's stopping you is me



CHORUS x 2
