Bilingual
Grey skies, bleak moors
Rain falls, snow glows
Piggy in the middle when the old man snores
That's north
Fog in the air, ice on the pane
Track from a dream by the knocker of Skene
Piggy in the middle when the whistle blows
That's north
Dogs bark, rain bites
Clocks spark in cats' eyes
Piggy in the middle when the work day starts
That's north
Visions of life in the past
Lost in the shadows they cast
Grey as the clouds keep you hiding from the sun
Gears grind, coals burn
Boiler steam, shafts turn
Piggy in the middle now the carton's filled
That's north
Silent mills, now empty halls
History written on the back of a wall
Piggy in the middle now the factory's gone
That's north
Mist in the air, frost on the grass
Smell of my beer in a half-empty glass
Piggy in the middle now it's time to rest
That's north
Visions of life in the past
Lost in the shadows they cast
Break through the clouds as you step out in the sun
Blue skies
Put a smile on your sad face
Golden flowers on a May day
Daffodils in a green place
Purple
Like the heather on your hillsides
Towering spires of Millstone
Crystal waters below
Look below the surface
And you'll find a different past
Reflected in the colours of the north

Blue skies

And you'll find a different past
Reflected in the colours of the north
