lyrics

With this Stamp you can see
All the thousand threads of me
Look close you might see
The tears of elder company
With this stamp you can see the sturdy little bones of me
Look close you might see
The tears of elder company

So carry me cross the water
Ashore the final border
Carry me cross the water
And wrap me around in your wool.

If only I had bathed your bones in water warmer than this
If only I had stolen your fears and cleared them up with a kiss
If only just for moment
If only I'd known for a moment
I'd have stood on the rocks for longer
To see if I saw you through mist.

So carry me cross the water
Ashore the final border
Carry me cross the water
And wrap me around in your wool.

Clarity comes and goes
But on this rock I hold
The green and blue is gold
But on this rock I show

So carry me cross the water
Ashore the final border
Carry me cross the water
And wrap me around in your wool.

My father was born in Glasgow, yet somehow I have never visited Scotland. This lovely music sounds like my ticket of return to the country of his birth. Philip Graham
