lyrics

HE'D BEEN AROUND WITH LOVE,
ALL THROUGH MY LIFE.
HE SUPPORTED RAITH
BUT OTHERWISE HIS MIND WAS ALL RIGHT.
HE TOLD MY MUM “STICK IN", AT KIRKCALDY HIGH
I CANNOT BELIEVE. (Believe it son)
THAT JOHN HAS DIED.

HOW COME IT POURS ?
WHEN YOU CANT ABSORB THE PAIN.
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS,
ITS MORE THAN A SPRINKLE OF LIGHT RAIN.
HOW COME IT POURS ?
WHEN YOU CANT ABSORB THE PAIN.
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS
ITS MORE THAN A SPRINKLE OF LIGHT RAIN.

YOU CANT MEASURE THE JOY,
TO MY VOID, THAT HE WOULD BRING.
HE LOVED THE BEVERAGE,
ITS A PARK MAN, NEVER TOUCHED A DRINK.
THE PUTTING AT FAIR ISLE,
BENEATH THE BRIDGE, BELOW LOTHIAN SKIES
I CANNOT BELIEVE. (Believe it son)
THAT JOHN HAS DIED.

HOW COME IT POURS ?
WHEN YOU CANT ABSORB THE PAIN.
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS,
ITS MORE THAN A SPRINKLE OF LIGHT RAIN.
HOW COME IT POURS ?
WHEN YOU CANT ABSORB THE PAIN.
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS
ITS MORE THAN A SPRINKLE OF LIGHT RAIN.

’SOME HAE MEAT THAT CANNAE EAT
AND SOME WOULD EAT THAT WANT IT,
BUT WE HAE MEAT AND WE CAN EAT,
SAE LET THE LORD BE THANK IT’
(THE SELKIRK GRACE- RABBIE BURNS)

TODAY WAS THE DAY,
IM SUPPOSED TO JUST SAY "SO LONG”.
A GOOD TURN OUT, WAS NO COMFORT,
AT THE CREMATORIUM.
THE 15TH OF THE JULY, JUST CANT SAY GOODBYE.
WHILE HES ALIVE IN MY HEART AND MY HEAD.
I CANNOT BELIEVE. (Believe it son)
THAT JOHN IS DEAD.

HOW COME IT POURS ?
WHEN YOU CANT ABSORB THE PAIN.
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS,
ITS MORE THAN A SPRINKLE OF LIGHT RAIN.
HOW COME IT POURS ?
WHEN YOU CANT ABSORB THE PAIN.
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS
ITS MORE THAN A SPRINKLE OF LIGHT RAIN.
HOW COME IT POURS ?
AND EVERYBODY ROUND HERE KNOWS.
ITS MORE THAN A SPRINKLE OF LIGHT RAIN.
