Badbea

Edwyn Collins

Badbea
A ruined monument to life
And death
Badbea
Lean towards the wind, a fight for breath
Fight for breath

Hardship was the way in Badbea
Desperate toil and hidden danger
Tethered child, the rocks below
Loss and heartbreak, never show

Badbea
A ruined monument to life
And death
Badbea
Lean towards the wind, a fight for breath
Fight for breath

I still see the ghosts of Badbea
Move among them on that cliff top
Broken stones will testify
Memories that never die

Badbea
A ruined monument to life
And death
Badbea
Lean towards the wind, a fight for breath
A fight for breath

Long ago at Badbea
Long ago at Badbea
At Badbea
Long ago at Badbea
Long ago at Badbea
Long ago at Badbea
Long ago
