Come
Come back
To the small croft where your story's just begun
Come back to the croft little one
Where your story has only just begun
And yesterday it was years before
That you came off the boat with your brother
Now now now
Lay down your head on this hard bed
Oh lay your head
Your mummy and daddy
Are in the room
A simple old cooker with just one ring
So lay down your head
And coorie in
The singing sea where the land falls in
You can be loved
You can be loved
And the locals all gathered around
Do they have the English
They asked your wee mum
And you never imagined
You'd keep coming back here
To this old stone room
And this concrete floor
And simple single ring on the cooker
And the bare cold room
That still houses everyone
Lay down
Now now now
Lay down your head on this hard bed
Oh lay your head
Your mummy and daddy
Are in the room
A simple old cooker with just one ring
So lay down your head
And coorie in
A simple sea where the land melts in
And Sam the Shepherd he's looking in
A flutter of gaslight
And hang on to your dream
You can be loved
And your old/whole country
Is a room and a song and a dream
Long gone
