Waking the Lion Lyrics & Tabs by Spirit of the West

Waking the Lion

guitar chords lyrics

Spirit of the West

The Saint Andrews' Cross
The slate rooves and the chimney pots
Are dirty against the snow

Speeding away from Glasgow
A carriage with a view
The holiday makers are few
The off-season beats the peak
and Sterling town's still fast asleep
I'm waking the Lion up
In me
Harry see me through
Distract me from the view
It's only been a day or two
But a lifetime here for you
We share a cigarette

It's only been a day or two
But a lifetime here for you
We share a cigarette
Our expectations and our regrets
Pass the time that remains
Two strangers on a train
With a carrier bag of cans
The only suitcase in his hands
He'll be drunk by journey's end
Before he reaches Stoke-on-Trent
