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
