|
This is really not my home |
|
Oh where are you my lovely Jenny? |
|
I'm afraid and all alone |
|
There is no peace for me |
|
And I'm sitting in the stranger's room |
|
Playing at the stranger's table |
|
Shining empty like the moon |
|
There is no peace for me |
|
But in the darkness struggle cold |
|
I think about a garden valley |
|
Gentle as the leaves unfold |
|
Singing out along the Tay |
|
Distant and so far away |
|
There is no peace for me |
|
I'm blinded by your city lights |
|
I wander through these fearful places |
|
The colours fade to black and white |
|
There is no peace for me |
|
And these are not the friends I know |
|
These are not their smiling faces |
|
A desert that no-one should know |
|
There is no peace for me |
|
But in the darkness struggle cold |
|
I think about a garden valley |
|
Gentle as the leaves unfold |
|
Singing out along the Tay |
|
Distant and so far away |
|
There is no peace for me |
|
Now I know and feel it well |
|
Poor immigrants' deep sunken feeling |
|
Standing at the gates of Hell |
|
There is no peace for me |
|
Burned out by their master's greed |
|
Cruel exile transportation |
|
Robbed of every love and need |
|
There is no peace for me |
|
But in the darkness struggle cold |
|
I think about a garden valley |
|
Gentle as the leaves unfold |
|
Singing out along the Tay |
|
Distant and so far away |
|
There is no peace for me |
