[00:34.510]The drinking dens are spilling out
[00:36.140]There's staggering in the square
[00:37.870]There's lads and lasses falling about
[00:39.980]And a crackling in the air
[00:41.910]Down around the dungeon doors
[00:43.830]The shelters and the queues
[00:45.370]Everybody's looking for
[00:47.600]Somebody's arms to fall into
[00:50.100]That's what it is
[00:52.960]
[00:53.550]It's what it is now
[00:55.690]
[00:57.770]There's frost on the graves and the monuments
[00:59.720]But the taverns are warm in town
[01:01.500]People curse the government
[01:03.340]And shovel hot food down
[01:05.730]Lights are out in the city hall
[01:07.530]The castle and the keep
[01:08.980]The moon shines down upon it all
[01:11.280]The legless and asleep
[01:13.220]
[01:13.820]And it's cold on the tollgate
[01:15.250]With the wagons creeping through
[01:16.900]Cold on the tollgate
[01:19.060]God knows what I could do with you
[01:20.660]That's what it is
[01:22.790]
[01:25.170]It's what it is now
[01:26.490]
[01:29.310]The garrison sleeps in the citadel
[01:30.990]With the ghosts and the ancient stones
[01:32.900]High on the parapet
[01:35.030]A Scottish piper stands alone
[01:37.120]And high on the wind
[01:38.600]The highland drums begin to roll
[01:40.410]And something from the past just comes
[01:43.130]And stares into my soul
[01:44.840]
[01:45.380]And it's cold on the tollgate
[01:47.150]where the caledonian  blues
[01:48.920]Cold on the tollgate
[01:50.360]God knows what I could do with you
[01:52.800]
[01:53.300]That's what it is
[01:54.250]
[01:56.800]It's what it is now
[01:58.300]
[02:00.270]What it is
[02:02.750]
[02:03.430]It's what it is now
[02:05.780]
[02:40.290]There's a chink of light
[02:41.310]there's a burning wick
[02:42.290]There's a lantern in the tower
[02:43.640]Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
[02:45.970]Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
[02:48.090]On Charlotte Street I take
[02:49.650]A WALKING stick for my hotel
[02:51.430]The ghost of Dirty Dick
[02:53.760]Is still in search of Little Nell
[02:56.020]That's what it is
[02:57.860]
[02:59.820]It's what it is now
[03:01.080]
[03:03.410]It's what it is
[03:05.880]
[03:07.680]What it is now…
