The Folks out here are kind
They let me sleep all day
They don't seem to mind
I'm dreaming my life away
There's traffic jams near The Hague
We'll have to leave here soon
Sing our songs and go
To the light of a lowland moon
And it seems like I'll miss Autumn in Edinburgh
That's the one I should have spent with you
With the rain lashing down, a fog on the Meadows
As the Festival lights, as the Festival lights go dim
Been wandering round this town
Trying to pass some time
It seems I know these streets
As well as I know mine
The clock has turned to Five
Perhaps you'll be home soon
I'll call and say I'm missing you
And then hang up the phone
And it seems like I'll miss Autumn in Edinburgh
That's the one I should have spent with you
With the rain lashing down, a fog on the Meadows
As the Festival lights, as the Festival lights go dim
The Folks out here are kind
They let me sleep all day
They don't seem to mind
I'm dreaming my life away
There's traffic jams near The Hague
We'll have to leave here soon
Sing our songs and go
To the light of a lowland moon
And it seems like I'll miss Autumn in Edinburgh
That's the one I should have spent with you
With the rain lashing down, a fog on the Meadows
As the Festival lights, as the Festival lights go dim
And everybody's written a song, which says
You've been on the road
Been on the road so long
As the Festival lights, as the Festival lights go dim
