Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] I remember shadows creeping past my door A childhood wrapped in storms and nothing more Heartbeats echoing like thunder in my room A ghost of laughter swallowed by the gloom [Chorus] Oh Edinburgh you’re stitched into my veins A city of my past now lost in its remains Time flies by like whispers through the air Moments slip away but the longing’s always there [Verse 2] Golden streets now painted in my dreams Memories twisting like forgotten streams A rush of faces and they blur into the tracks Can’t catch the years they’re never coming back [Chorus] Oh Edinburgh you’re stitched into my veins A city of my past now lost in its remains Time flies by like whispers through the air Moments slip away but the longing’s always there [Bridge] The clock it ticks like footsteps in the dark I chase its hands but it tears me apart Each second’s heavy yet it moves so fast I blink my eyes and I’ve outrun the past [Chorus] Oh Edinburgh you’re stitched into my veins A city of my past now lost in its remains Time flies by like whispers through the air Moments slip away but the longing’s always there
