Dave Gibb
I’ve been too long in the badlands
Where the river’s old and slow
It’s time to head back south again
And get closer to its source
To the place I left so long ago
In my dark and distant past
And go chasing childhood memories
Its surprising how they last
I could have come the bottom road
Perhaps next time I will
But my legs are old and wiser now
They know they’d never make that hill
But I’ll head up towards the house I knew
That I still consider mine
Where Saints Nicholas and Kentigern
Meet to pass the time
Ch.
I think I’m going to make it now
I’ve been too long on the road
The bad lands lie behind me
So it’s over Cartland Bridge and I’ll be home
This town has lived a thousand years
A thousand years or more
They say Wallace killed a sheriff here
Well what else are sheriffs for?
And within its walls it’s done its best
To give all kinds of man a home
From a brave and bearded warrior
To a poet on the road
Ch.
I think I’m going to make it now
I’ve been too long on the road
The bad lands lie behind me
So it’s over Cartland Bridge and I’ll be home
These thoughts have kept me company
And helped me on my way
And maybe this will be the time
That when I get there I will stay
But I know what life holds for me
And it’s always been the same
Soon I’ll pack my bags and head
Back into the badlands once again
