It's springtime but i still miss the streets at dawn

And in the morning walking your bridges home

As i sit and stare at all of england's souls

I tell you something

I wish i was in edinburgh







I don't mind being by myself

Don't wanta be anywhere else

Just wanna be in edinburgh

I wish i was an edinburgh man







You can leave me on the shelf

I'm an edinburgh man myself

I will always give you help







It's summertime but i still miss your skies so clear

Sitting and staring on a beach somewhere

I'll tell you something

I wish i was in edinburgh







Don't give a toss about private wealth

And history just repeats itself

Keep me away from the festival

And just give me a warm quarter-gill*







They say you project yourself

But i'm an edinburgh man myself







It's wintertime and i still see the cobble stones

Clacking over your streets at dawn

I was really poor since i left edinburgh







I'm ok just by myself

Cause our miserable king won't protect us from ourselves

How i wish i was in edinburgh

How i wish i was in edinburgh







I was always in good health

I'm an edinburgh man myself

I will always give you help

I'm an edinburgh man myself
