By the craigs through the fields To the sand and the seals And the sky when its unco and grey And the gold o' the crop As it greets the raindrop Like a friend from far far away. Was the snow much whiter Were the summers longer And did the sun shine brighter Or am I just getting older. And the well beaten track Took us over and back Will the nest o' the donter be safe And the starling will sing As the span o' her wing Takes her home tae her nest by the cave. Was the snow much whiter Were the summers longer And did the sun shine brighter Or am I just getting older. By the craigs through the fields To the sand and the seals And the sky when its unco and grey And the gold o' the crop As it greets the raindrop Like a friend from far far away.
