Waking The Lion

<br>(Kelly/Mann)<br>The Saint Andrews` Cross<br>The slate rooves and the chimney pots<br>Are dirty against the snow<br>Speeding away from Glasgow<br>A carriage with a view<br>The holiday makers are few<br>The off-season beats the peak<br>and Sterling town`s still fast asleep<br>I`m waking the Lion up<br>In me<br>Harry see me through<br>Distract me from the view<br>It`s only been a day or two<br>But a lifetime here for you<br>We share a cigarette<br>Our expectations and our regrets<br>Pass the time that remains<br>Two strangers on a train<br>With a carrier bag of cans<br>The only suitcase in his hands<br>He`ll be drunk by journey`s end<br>Before he reaches Stoke-on-Trent
