Well, there's a river that runs through Glasgow
And it makes her, but it breaks her and takes her in two parts
ย
And her current, just like my blood, flows
Down from the hills, round achin' bones, to my restless heart
ย
Well, I would swim, but the river is so wide
And I'm scared I won't make it to the other side
And, well, God knows I've failed, but He knows that I've tried
ย
I long for something that's safe and warm
But all I have is all that is gone
I'm as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde
ย
Well, on one side, all the lights glow
And the folks know, and the kids go where the music and the drinking starts
ย
On the other side, where no cars go
Up to the hills that stand alone like my restless heart
ย
Well, I would swim, but the river is so wide
And I'm scared I won't make it to the other side
And, well, God knows I've failed, but He knows that I've tried
ย
Long for something that's safe and warm
But all I have is all that is gone
I'm as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde
Oh, Lord
ย
Where the sun sets late, in Glasgow
ย
And the daylight and the city part
ย
And I think of you in Glasgow
'Cause you're all that's safe, you're all that's warm
In my restless heart
