Edina Songtext

Edina Songtext
I often think about the nights
The times before I learnt that all my days have got a number
Chasing all the girls up Lilyhill, bare-chested in the rain
The green and white on a Saturday
Birling through the turnstiles, singing all the way down Easter Road
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me?
′Cause I'm still listening for the van
Counting change from out my pocket for an ice-cream from the man
I′m skinnin' all my knees
Running from the polis, hide and seek along Great Junction Street
But I always felt this awful shame, coming from a scheme
And I never took my education, so
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me?
'Cause I will never grow, no, never will I grow so old again, I know, I know
And everywhere I′ve been
Everywhere I go I hold your sorrow in my bones
And, and even though I said
Even though I swore I′m never coming home again, I know
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me?
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me?
'Cause I am whistling in the dark
I′ve been trying to hold a candle
I've been trying to change my feelings
I′ve been crying in my sleep
And when she wakes to give me comfort
I say I can't recall my sorrow
′Cause I hold you to my breast
And I've been keeping all your secrets
Maybe one day you will release me, so
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me?
'Cause I will never grow, no
Never will I grow so old again, I know, I know, I know
And everywhere I′ve been
Everywhere I go I hold your sorrow in my bones
And, and even though I swore
Even though I swore I′m never, never, never coming home, I know
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me? Oh-oh, oh
The times before I learnt that all my days have got a number
Chasing all the girls up Lilyhill, bare-chested in the rain
The green and white on a Saturday
Birling through the turnstiles, singing all the way down Easter Road
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me?
′Cause I'm still listening for the van
Counting change from out my pocket for an ice-cream from the man
I′m skinnin' all my knees
Running from the polis, hide and seek along Great Junction Street
But I always felt this awful shame, coming from a scheme
And I never took my education, so
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me?
'Cause I will never grow, no, never will I grow so old again, I know, I know
And everywhere I′ve been
Everywhere I go I hold your sorrow in my bones
And, and even though I said
Even though I swore I′m never coming home again, I know
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me?
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me?
'Cause I am whistling in the dark
I′ve been trying to hold a candle
I've been trying to change my feelings
I′ve been crying in my sleep
And when she wakes to give me comfort
I say I can't recall my sorrow
′Cause I hold you to my breast
And I've been keeping all your secrets
Maybe one day you will release me, so
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me?
'Cause I will never grow, no
Never will I grow so old again, I know, I know, I know
And everywhere I′ve been
Everywhere I go I hold your sorrow in my bones
And, and even though I swore
Even though I swore I′m never, never, never coming home, I know
Would you forgive me?
What do you say, Edina?
Would you forgive me? Oh-oh, oh
