Auld Wives

(album: Red Earth & Pouring Rain - 2016)

Auld wives lifts
Auld wives lifts
How have you got here?
Where do you come from?
What do you tell?

I see his face
I see his face
Carved deep in the stone
Another mind you have taken away

But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all you've left behind
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name

Now I call your name
I call your name
But you can't hear me now
No, you don't recognise my face

Who are you?
Who are you?
And why do you call me that?
How dare you call me that

But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all you've left behind
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name

But I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name

But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all you've left behind
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name
