lyrics

I've roamed this wide world o'er,
From Portencross to Pittenweem.
No map made could record,
All the pathways to uncertainty.
Won't someone show me how to live,
Won't someone show me how to live,
Won't someone show me how,
Before I slip away?

I've searched the whole world o'er,
For arms that would encircle me.
So that no matter where I turn,
I'll find warmth to keep the cold from me.
Won't someone show me how to love,
Won't someone show me how to love,
Won't someone show me how,
Before I slip away?

Across the whole span of my world,
From Jamaica Street to Fleshmarket Close.
If any meaning there is at all,
It must lie therein I suppose.
Won't someone show me how to live,
Won't someone show me how to love,
Won't someone show me how,
Before I slip away?
