The Royal Mile - Gerry Rafferty

I remember the sound of the passing train

As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain

And the touch of a hand

And the way she said goodbye

And we walked in the sun down the royal mile

Saw the light in her eye and the way she smiled

And she cried in the night

And I heard her say «Don't go»

What can I do, sweet darlin'?

I don’t want to go away

Looking at you, sweet darlin'

I know I want to stay

What can I do, sweet darlin'?

In the light of the day, I was rolling home

I was thinking of you, waiting on your own

And I wanted to call

But then something said, oh, no

Yeah, but now it’s a dream, it’s a memory

But I’ll never forget what you gave to me

I was lost and alone

But you made feel okay

What can I do, sweet darlin'?

I don’t want to go away

Looking at you, sweet darlin'

I know I want to stay

What can I do, sweet darlin'?

I remember the sound of the passing train

As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain

And the touch of a hand

And the way she said goodbye

What can I do, sweet darlin'?

I don’t want to go away

Looking at you, sweet darlin'

I know I want to stay

What can I do, sweet darlin'?
