lyrics

Markinch

Fifteen miles,
Along the tracks I tread
Through the dead of winter
To the side of my mother
Through the dead of winter
To the side of Ethel Jane

Oldest am I
Have a pact to help those ones who raised me
While their strength is failing
Help the ones who raised me
While their strength is failing

I see a hand outstretched, a mouth open
Oh this forgotten land of setting suns
The dust it blows, a bitter wind it howls
Somehow I’m not read for this weight placed on me
Someone make me ready

Study I
Feel a presence all by the coal oil candle light
While the others are sleeping
By the coal oil lamp light
While the others are sleeping

Tired eyes
Just a short rest and I’ll be back to writing
No use in fighting
Fell asleep to gentle flames
Woke up to hellfire

I see a hand outstretched, a mouth open
Oh this forgotten land of setting suns
The dust it blows, a bitter wind it howls
Somehow I’m not read for this weight placed on me
Someone make me ready

I see a hand outstretched, a mouth open
Oh this forgotten land of setting suns
The dust it blows, a bitter wind it howls
Somehow I’m not read for this weight placed on me
Someone make me ready
