Lyrics:

By the craigs through the fields
To the sand and the seals
And the sky when its unco and grey
And the gold o' the crop
As it greets the raindrop
Like a friend from far far away.

Was the snow much whiter
Were the summers longer
And did the sun shine brighter
Or am I just getting older.

And the well beaten track
Took us over and back
Will the nest o' the donter be safe
And the starling will sing
As the span o' her wing
Takes her home tae her nest by the cave.

Was the snow much whiter
Were the summers longer
And did the sun shine brighter
Or am I just getting older.

By the craigs through the fields
To the sand and the seals
And the sky when its unco and grey
And the gold o' the crop
As it greets the raindrop
Like a friend from far far away.

Was the snow much whiter
Were the summers longer
And did the sun shine brighter
Or am I just getting older.
