Angel In Lothian

歌詞

Well an angel fell somewhere in Lothian I was only a child but I trust my eyes She burned up like a comet before me Before I could even say "Hi" Saw kingdoms come and go in Bernicia With a space station rattling above my head And I saw the dead, I saw the dead Back then yeah the door was always open I'd come and go back and forth anytime I need But I'm needing it more now than ever as I'm fading away And I'd claw at the door every bad night But somehow it's blocked from the other side Claw 'til my skin comes apart until I feel something And I remember that pain in my mother Being helpless and feckless and far too young And my brother was spiralling down He said, "Kid, it's not me, it's this town" So I rail against that feeling when it comes I no longer have solitude behind that door And there's no drugs that can hold it You gotta hold it yourself I wish an angel fell somewhere in Lothian She could've fixed all the problems I cannot fix Then one day I might have kids myself And hope that I don't fuck them up myself Back then yeah the door was always open
