Some say that I'm hard to know
You didn't know me a long time ago
I was weightless even though
I was downcast
You know I've traveled every road
To every town, I suppose
But if there's one place I can't find
It's the past
If suddenly I've disappeared
Nothing to be feared
I'm going back to Dundee
By the North Sea
If suddenly I can't be found
Know I'm safe & sound
In the West End of Dundee
Been twenty-eight trips 'round the sun
Fragments of time, A life begun
These words I write are falling short
Of my emotions
Homesick for a town I hardly knew
Missing the place before I met you
But maybe what I really miss
Is my youth
If suddenly I've disappeared
Nothing to be feared
I'm going back to Dundee
By the North Sea
If suddenly I can't be found
Know I'm safe & sound
In the West End of Dundee
