right now, shit is complicated
cuz I’m bearin’ a heavy load
makes it hard for me ta decide
if it’s time for me ta hit the road
this country – this man I love
they’d both be hard to leave
& if I give them up
is it just because I grieve?
mah Daddy is long dead
& now, so is my Mother
yet there’s family that love me
I’ve two sisters & a brother
long ago I left them
for a love I thought would never die
more fool me,
cuz that turned out to be a lie
now that my beloved Mother
has been laid to rest
I’m thinkin’ I shoulda stayed
with those who loved & knew me best
that said, leaving Scotland
would make me unbearably sad
for the life I’ve constructed here
has not been all bad
my heart, my brain burn
lit by the consciousness molotov
I struggle with reality:
all life is a trade-off
