On The Turn

The days are longer than they’ve been in a long time
And I’m stronger than this time last year
This mornings brighter than its been in a long time
Since the year went on the turn
The day on my back is not as heavy
The sun on my face is rising early
This hard earth is feeling ready
Since the year went on the turn
There is more life than I’ve seen in a long time
The ground is firmer under foot
The world is warmer than it’s been in a long time
Since the year went on the turn
The day on my back is not as heavy
The sun on my face is rising early
This hard earth is feeling ready
Since the year went on the turn

Rolling round and winding time, down through the Brig o Dam
Hoping that the sun will keep it’s own, but I don’t think it can
I’ve travelled this road since I could walk it, always grudge it, death won’t stop it
City’s no way for man to work the land
The Drover’s Road from Logie takes me south to Glasgow town
My time is up, as the Campsie’s lower me down (something keeps slowing me down)
And journeys end at Gallowgate is a scene from Lord knows where
Three more days and I’ll be home, and I won’t be back again
I’ve left a one room castle and a mountain at my door
I could see the water from my window, shore to shining shore
One week a year I’ll swap it all for a skyline belching coal
While the ground beneath my feet is heavy on my soul
The Drover’s Road from Logie takes me south to Glasgow town
My time is up, as the Campsie’s lower me down (something keeps slowing me down)
And journeys end at Gallowgate is a scene from Lord knows where
Three more days and I’ll be home, and I won’t be back again
Sun rising over east end chimneys and the cloud is rolling in
Sun setting over west end cranes and the air is feeling thin
When my work is done, the battle’s won, you won’t catch me for year
See me running for the hills where the light is looking clear
The Drover’s Road from Logie takes me south to Glasgow town
My time is up, as the Campsie’s lower me down (something keeps slowing me down)
And journeys end at Gallowgate is a scene from Lord knows where
Three more days and I’ll be home, and I won’t be back again

This gently subtle album has quietly insinuated itself into daily life. It has the same sort of refreshing, calming effect as a walk in the woods or on the hilltops. Thanks, Spad :)
