Various 1-04 The Proclaimers - Letter From America Lyrics

When you go will you send backA letter from america? Take a look up the railtrackFrom miami to canadaBroke off from my work the other dayI spent the evening
thinking aboutAll the blood that flowed awayAcross
the ocean to the second chanceI wonder how it got on when
it reached the promised land? I've looked at the
oceanTried hard to imagineThe way you felt the day
you sailedFrom wester ross to nova scotiaWe should
have held youWe should have told youBut you know our
sense of timingWe always wait too longLochaber no
moreSutherland no moreLewis no moreSkye no
more...... etcI wonder my bloodWill you ever
returnTo help us kick the life backTo a dying mutual
friendDo we not love her? Do we not say we love her?
Do we have to roam the worldTo prove how much it
hurts? Bathgate no moreLinwood no moreMethil
no moreIrvine no more.
