The washed out stars they hang so low The trains stand still, they don't know where to go The music's stopped, the town's gone quiet I feel the first chill of the winter night Coming from the firth of clyde But you're far from here Far from glasgow In a distant past you and i were one Far from here Far from glasgow Down the avenue Gothenburg in bloom in may I'm waiting in the scottish rain And so i learned to love this town It took a while but now i call it mine The dirty houses and the streets I've left my fingerprints on every wall The pavements bare the mark of my feet. But you're far from here... Silence, silence all around Sleight grey black and hundred shades of brown The colours of this god forsaken town And you're far from here...
