The Night I Heard Caruso Sing Lyrics - Everything But The Girl

The highlands and the lowlands 

Are the roots my father knows 

The holidays at Oban 

And the towns around Montrose 

But even as he sleeps 

They're loading bombs into the hills 

And the waters in the lochs 

Can run deep but never still

I've thought of having children 

But I've gone and changed my mind 

It's hard enough to watch the news 

Let alone explain it to a child 

To cast your eye 'cross nature 

Over fields of rape and corn 

And tell him without flinching 

Not to fear where he's been born 

Then someone sat me down last night 

And I heard Caruso sing 

He's almost as good as Presley 

And if I only do one thing 

I'll sing songs to my father 

I'll sing songs to my child 

It's time to hold your loved ones 

While the chains are loosed and the world 

Runs wild 

Photos 

And even as we speak 

They're loading bombs onto a white train 

How can we afford to ever sleep 

So sound again
