Aberdeen - Kirsty Mcgee
There's a place in every city
In a bottom wound and relieved
Where some yellow headed girl
Whispers anyone who listens how she feels
She stoops too low but she will conquer
With no malice and no kind
She's the child of late night whiskey talk
If late night whiskey talk had a child
Do you remember aberdeen when you and I was 17
Eyes and place and thickest teeth
And malice you'll remember
All of the promises he made
The night he told me all about him
In the bed where you have laid
And all the sheets were off like restless waves
Frown around in this array
And I loved you then but I dared not speak
For fear for fear of what you'll say
And the roads rode by so dearly great
And I tell myself that they'll end someday
When I find out what I mean to say
When words come a little closer
If I'd known back then what I've since learned
How a fire can warm how a fire can burn
We dashed down the stars but I have returned if I was lost
In the silence I could hear your heart beating
In a barrow on a city street
With a pretty girl with blistered feet
I don't know about you but I can't compete
When it comes to drinking games
You stoop too low but you will conquer
As you have conquered every time
You're the child of late night whiskey talk
If late night whiskey talk had a child
And I'll leave you there in Aberdeen
In a torn red dress with that crazy grin
Ragged girl red hair white skin
How you make me giddy when you draw me in
I will leave you there in Aberdeen
With my heart in your hands the way it's always been
Girl I loved so deeply but I dare not win
Before it starts before stars came down
