Edina

I often think about the nights The times before I learnt that all my days have got a number Chasing all the girls up Lilyhill, bare-chested in the rain The green and white on a Saturday Birling through the turnstiles, singing all the way down Easter Road Would you forgive me? What do you say, Edina? Would you forgive me? 'Cause I'm still listening for the van Counting change from out my pocket for an ice-cream from the man I'm skinnin' all my knees Running from the polis, hide and seek along Great Junction Street But I always felt this awful shame, coming from a scheme And I never took my education, so Would you forgive me? What do you say, Edina? Would you forgive me? 'Cause I will never grow, no, never will I grow so old again, I know, I know And everywhere I've been Everywhere I go I hold your sorrow in my bones And, and even though I said Even though I swore I'm never coming home again, I know Would you forgive me? What do you say, Edina? Would you forgive me? Would you forgive me? What do you say, Edina? Would you forgive me? 'Cause I am whistling in the dark I've been trying to hold a candle I've been trying to change my feelings I've been crying in my sleep And when she wakes to give me comfort I say I can't recall my sorrow 'Cause I hold you to my breast And I've been keeping all your secrets Maybe one day you will release me, so Would you forgive me? What do you say, Edina? Would you forgive me? 'Cause I will never grow, no Never will I grow so old again, I know, I know, I know And everywhere I've been Everywhere I go I hold your sorrow in my bones And, and even though I swore Even though I swore I'm never, never, never coming home, I know Would you forgive me? What do you say, Edina? Would you forgive me? Oh-oh, oh
