Edinburgh Songtext

look away your eyes beckon

seems you pack a deadly weapon

god i gotta gotta make it happen

cool boy smooth style his words are coy and they beguile

from a distance hear him speak

in his eyes a charmed mystique

in a flash i turn my cheek, first time meek

where's my player's technique?



stranger i put in the back of my mind
(there's no way, he'll fade away)

strange how our paths kept crossing like a sign

(your bad for each other, so be sad with another lover)

who would've known when i was so alone

falling through the unknown

that he would lay my paving stone and show me the way

lost in so many lows and woes

that's how the sea flows but along the way

this stranger faraway became so close



blue boy like in my dream

they kept us apart or so it seems

revolving around one another

so-called friends warned us of each other

and why would others have their druthers

with two together and in love

around the block i saw your glow

and when we kissed how i did know

this dance we did kept us apart

no chance of letting loving start

emancipation of our hearts had to commence to enhance this work of art





stranger i put in the back of my mind

(there's no way, he'll fade away)

strange how our paths kept crossing like a sign

(your bad for each other, so be sad with another lover)

who would've known when i was so alone

falling through the unknown

that he would lay my paving stone and show me the way

lost in so many lows and woes

that's how the sea flows but along the way

this stranger faraway became so close
