on leaving

you and I were never quite the same
after we left scotland
in your eyes, I’d never seen the sorrow
I saw when we left scotland
you smiled and sighed
and swore you’d never leave me
though we’d leave scotland

you and I were never quite the same
your tears were drowned and concealed by the rain
you and I were never quite the same
never quite the same

you were mine
and I was gladly yours until we left scotland
saying goodbye
was the one thing left
on leaving scotland
