Spanish Sands

Can I be wise and in love, no not at the same time, and she goes,
She slips out the hands, like a fist full of sand after
All I’m only a young head on young shoulders
I rule the Spanish sands another day, another day,
It won’t be very long before I go
I rule the Spanish sands another day, another day,
It won’t be very long before I go
A ripple on my hand, for every stitch comes a score,
On the young heads and heavy hearts, they show love is deft
Forsaken Spanish sands they set my villain free,
There’s a hole in my fire,
But now I see, now you see,
I rule the Spanish sands another day, another day,
It won’t be very long before I go
I rule the Spanish sands another day, another day,
It won’t be very long before I go
I go
I go
I rule the Spanish sands another day, another day,
It won’t be very long before I go oh
I choose the Scottish lands, I’m on my way, I’m on my way
It won’t be very long before I’m home
