Refrain: E F# B E B

The river's lullaby that once subdued me
And the buzzing hills that improvised a wall
Are sweet now I no longer seek an answer
To the self-imposing saddest songs of all
	And from that bitter root there grows avine (x02210@1)	That shows regret for wasted years is wasted time
	I've travelled round the world in search of what I need
	Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen

Solo: F# B F# B E B F# B

Opaque clouds unmask a worried old face
But the images dissolve behind a tree
Unafraid of change and happy now in small ways
There is now as there always was, just me.
	And though the future is far off this much I know
	Nothing's as far away as one minute ago
	I've travelled round the world in search of what I need
	Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen

I've travelled round the world in search of what I need
	Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen

Refrain: E F# B E B
