NEW TUNE -

If you sit at the flagpole in Queens Park, Glasgow you can crush the Campsies with your thumb and your forefinger. Sometimes I go up there to write and think and stare at the mountains.

lyrics

I thought of you sometimes
Up on a hillcrest
Sat on a stone ledge
Crushing the Campsies

You looked like a car crash
Messy and crumpled
Hair like a catchweed
Unwashed, unready

And you were so quiet
I held my tongue in
Scared that I might speak
And break the silence

and there in the twilight
the sun set on you
I wanted to see you
I wanted to know you

I wanted to kiss you
Wipe the day off you
hold back the nightfall
Tell you I love you

But love’s not an arrow
More of a brushstroke
And I am an artist
And you are a statue

So now when i see you
Crushing the Campsies
I will walk by you
I will walk by you
