Alone in Glasgow
Embracing Glasgow's Loneliness: A Symphony of Urban Resilience
Lyrics
I lost your postcard
I misplaced the postcard you sent
It was waiting for me in the end
It was there for me at the conclusion
Compact capital letters
Uppercase letters neatly arranged
Crawl in monochrome
Move slowly in black and white
Tucked inside a sturdy frame
Nestled within a robust frame
This ink has travelled
This ink has traversed a significant distance to communicate with me
A long long way to talk to me
Over a considerable distance, this ink speaks to me
With her regal profile watching over
Her majestic silhouette overseeing
No storms could weather these words away
No challenges could erode these written words
And I hate to think of you alone in Glasgow
I dislike imagining you being lonely in Glasgow
Holding on to edges, letting go
Grasping onto boundaries, releasing
You're not the only one alone in Glasgow
You are not the sole person feeling solitude in Glasgow
So take this city by the hand
So embrace this city with determination
A solid structure can withstand the wind
A robust structure can endure the storms
No matter how weak you may think you are
No matter how fragile you perceive yourself to be
The beauty of the city's in its bruises
The charm of the city lies in its imperfections
The things we love get torn apart
The things we love often face disintegration
So go on, beat your drum, dear
So go ahead, express yourself passionately
The fireworks shine bright tonight
The fireworks illuminate the night brightly
Don't resist these concrete walls surrounding you
Don't resist the protective walls around you
Home can be a different size
Home can vary in size and form
And I hate to think of you alone in Glasgow
I dislike imagining you being lonely in Glasgow
Holding on to edges, letting go
Grasping onto boundaries, releasing
You're not the only one alone in Glasgow
You are not the sole person feeling solitude in Glasgow
So take this city by the hand
So embrace this city with determination
And I hate to think of you alone in Glasgow
I dislike imagining you being lonely in Glasgow
Holding on to edges, letting go
Grasping onto boundaries, releasing
You're not the only one alone in Glasgow
You are not the sole person feeling solitude in Glasgow
So take this city by the hand
So embrace this city with determination
Take this city by the hand
Seize this city with resolve
