Alone in Glasgow Lyrics

I lost your postcard

It was waiting for me in the end

Compact capital letters

Crawl in monochrome

Tucked inside a sturdy frame

This ink has travelled

A long long way to talk to me

With her regal profile watching over

No storms could weather these words away

And I hate to think of you alone in Glasgow

Holding on to edges, letting go

You're not the only one alone in Glasgow

So take this city by the hand

A solid structure can withstand the wind

No matter how weak you may think you are

The beauty of the city's in its bruises

The things we love get torn apart

So go on, beat your drum, dear

The fireworks shine bright tonight

Don't resist these concrete walls surrounding you

Home can be a different size

And I hate to think of you alone in Glasgow

Holding on to edges, letting go

You're not the only one alone in Glasgow

So take this city by the hand

And I hate to think of you alone in Glasgow

Holding on to edges, letting go

You're not the only one alone in Glasgow

So take this city by the hand

Take this city by the hand
