The Night I Heard Caruso Sing (2012 Remaster) - Everything But The Girl
The highlands and the lowlands
Are the routes my father knows
The holidays at Oban and
The towns around Montrose
But even as he sleeps
They're loading bombs into the hills
And the waters in the lochs can run deep
But never still
I've thought of having children
But I've gone and changed my mind
It's hard enough to watch the news
Let alone explain it to a child
To cast your eye cross nature
Over fields of R**e and corn
And tell him without flinching not to fear
Where he's been born
Then someone sat me down last night
And I heard Caruso sing
He's almost as good as Presley
And if I only do one thing
I'll sing songs to my father
I'll sing songs to my child
It's time to hold your loved ones
While the chains are loose
And the world runs wild
But even as we speak
They're loading bombs onto a white train
How can we afford to ever sleep so sound again
