Come gather in my lungs Scottish wind Belt out your blackest poems as the sea around you sings When the drone takes to the air a single note to raise my hair Carry songs beyond my lungs cold Scottish winds Come fall upon my shoulders Scottish rain And dissolve all of the worry that has hunched this back of mine Let the hurt run down the drain to the reservoir And one day I'll add a drop of my old worries to a dram Gather heavy in my lungs Scottish wind
All the f*g smoke in the ether of the grouse that clips your wings And I will cough just like my granddad and his grandpa before him Oh blow youth into these lungs old Scottish wind Come burl around my body Scottish blood I'll try not to spill a drop, I'm sure you've spilled enough And the ancient English rule will mean nothing to these towns Run forever in my veins bold Scottish blood
