It’s springtime but I still miss the streets at dawnAnd in the morning walking your bridges homeAs I sit and stare at all of england’s soulsI tell you somethingI wish I was in edinburghI don’t mind being by myselfDon’t wanta be anywhere elseJust wanna be in edinburghI wish I was an edinburgh manYou can leave me on the shelfI’m an edinburgh man myselfI will always give you helpIt’s summertime but I still miss your skies so clearSitting and staring on a beach somewhereI’ll tell you somethingI wish I was in edinburghDon’t give a toss about private wealthAnd history just repeats itselfKeep me away from the festivalAnd just give me a warm quarter-gill*They say you project yourselfBut I’m an edinburgh man myselfIt’s wintertime and I still see the cobble stonesClacking over your streets at dawnI was really poor since I left edinburghI’m ok just by myselfCause our miserable king won’t protect us from ourselvesHow I wish I was in edinburghHow I wish I was in edinburghI was always in good healthI’m an edinburgh man myselfI will always give you helpI’m an edinburgh man myself
