Eleventh Earl Of Mar

<br>The sun had been up for a couple of hours<br>It covered the ground with a layer of gold<br>Spirits were high and the raining had stopped<br>The larder was low, but boy that wasn`t all<br><br>Eleventh Earl of Mar<br>Couldn`t get them very far<br>Daddy! Oh Daddy, you promised<br><br>Out on the road in the direction of Perth<br>Backwards and forwards in a circle they went<br>Found a city half open and ready to greet<br>The conquering heroes, with blisters on their feet<br><br>Eleventh Earl of Mar<br>Somehow got them all this far<br>Daddy! You promised, you promised<br><br>See the Stewart all dressed up<br>He`s got eyes in the back of his head<br>Who came in a cockleshell boat<br>That could only just float<br>Couldn`t even lift a sword<br>Dressed too fine and smelling of wine<br><br>Daddy you`ve got to do<br>Here comes the bishop all dressed up<br>He`s gonna bless you if you`re ready to pay<br>One wave of his funny old stick<br>There`s a band of light across your eyes<br><br>Waited a week still they hadn`t appeared<br>That glorious timing that everyone feared<br>So they`re riding along on the crest of a wave<br>They`re headed for London, and that will be their grave<br><br>Eleventh Earl of Mar<br>Well he couldn`t get them down that far<br>Daddy! I`m waiting, I`m waiting<br><br>Time to go to bed now<br>Never seems too keen<br>To be a guest now<br>In a house of dreams<br><br>Flying from a hillside<br>Beckoning the trees<br>A sailboat`s awning<br>Mimicking the breeze<br><br>I`m fighting gravity falling<br>My Daddy won`t let them get me<br>A voice screams seems to be calling<br>The face turns features are burning<br><br>Daddy, you`ve got to do<br>See the fifteen going by<br>Tell the Lairs and the Lords<br>They`re running backwards today<br>And once again you stand alone<br><br>Bury your memories bury your friends<br>Leave it alone for a year or two<br>Till the stories go hazy and the legends come true<br>Then do it again, some things never end<br><br>Eleventh Earl of Mar<br>Won`t be going very far<br>You promised, you promised, you promised<br>DADDY!
