The Streets of Auld Reekie

[Verse]
In the shadow of the castle, old stones hum and gleam,
Edinburgh’s streets, a painted dream.
Cobblestones whisper, secrets they keep,
True art revealed, where history sleeps.
[Verse 2]
Through alleys narrow, lanterns glow,
The heart of the city begins to show.
Exploration beckoned, a journey unplanned,
A melody played by this ancient land.
[Chorus]
Oh, the air was brisk, the sky draped gray,
But pride and peace paved my way.
True art hung in each brick and spire,
A city ablaze with creative fire.
[Bridge]
The winds carried whispers of lives before,
Footsteps echoing through time and lore.
Prideful I stood where fate entwined,
In soft-edged peace, my soul aligned.
[Verse 3]
Jazz played softly on a shadowed square,
And poets dreamed in the chilly air.
Every note, every stone, a lesson unspoken,
In Edinburgh’s embrace, a heart unbroken.
[Chorus]
Oh, the air was brisk, the sky draped gray,
But pride and peace paved my way.
True art hung in each brick and spire,
A city ablaze with creative fire.
