East of Aberdeen - Craig Herbertson[00:00:00]

Written by：Craig Herbertson[00:00:00]

Cold is she[00:00:07]

The cold North Sea[00:00:10]

She'll howl and she'll heave[00:00:14]

And will not be subdued[00:00:18]

So raise up your glass[00:00:23]

To those who have seen her[00:00:26]

From no friendly shore[00:00:31]

But east east of Aberdeen[00:00:36]

Four hundred miles[00:00:50]

I travelled to labour[00:00:52]

To the Grey Granite City[00:00:55]

In the far far north[00:00:57]

I found myself alone[00:00:59]

In bars with no women[00:01:01]

Just men who have been[00:01:03]

East east of Aberdeen[00:01:06]

At the heliport we stewed[00:01:12]

Held by stormy weather[00:01:15]

We sweated in our suits[00:01:17]

Too tired to do much mocking[00:01:19]

We smoked and we laughed[00:01:21]

But the wind was out there talking[00:01:24]

As we waited for our flight[00:01:26]

To east east of Aberdeen[00:01:28]

The first few days[00:01:35]

Will never be forgot[00:01:37]

Ye work and ye work[00:01:39]

And ye never seemed to stop[00:01:41]

It'd be a Hell on earth[00:01:44]

But the real Hell is the water[00:01:46]

That thunders through your dreams[00:01:48]

When you're east east of Aberdeen[00:01:50]

As like a wee toy[00:01:57]

The standby boat is bobbing[00:01:59]

Their three month trip[00:02:02]

Must send their brains to God[00:02:04]

They only get them back[00:02:06]

When they've drunk themselves sober[00:02:08]

And then they'll be broke[00:02:11]

And east east of Aberdeen[00:02:13]

The flares o the Innes[00:02:20]

Burn like wee candles[00:02:22]

In the huge night sky[00:02:24]

There is nothing else to see[00:02:26]

And if ever you felt[00:02:29]

Humbled and Holy[00:02:31]

It's alone with these lights[00:02:33]

East east of Aberdeen[00:02:36]

Our flare burns like gold[00:02:42]

Gold and restless amber[00:02:45]

It lights up the sky[00:02:47]

The rigging and the gantry[00:02:49]

Then O'er endless skies[00:02:51]

The Northern Lights come dancing[00:02:53]

There's angels in your dreams[00:02:56]

East east of Aberdeen[00:02:58]

Three weeks you're on[00:03:05]

Your relief he bumps you[00:03:07]

All dressed in your suit[00:03:09]

As the cheaper fly away[00:03:11]

And it's back down below[00:03:13]

To fourteen hours of grafting[00:03:16]

And you curse and you swear[00:03:18]

East east of Aberdeen[00:03:20]

And you lie on your bunk[00:03:27]

And dream of your woman[00:03:29]

Is she lying alone[00:03:32]

Or sharing her sorrow[00:03:34]

And the wind it sighs[00:03:36]

It's the voice of a lover[00:03:38]

But a lover who lies[00:03:40]

East east of Aberdeen[00:03:43]

And cold is she[00:03:49]

The cold North Sea[00:03:52]

She'll howl and she'll heave[00:03:54]

And will not be subdued[00:03:56]

So raise up your glass[00:03:58]

To those who have seen her[00:04:01]

From no friendly shore[00:04:03]

But east east of Aberdeen[00:04:05]
