I want to reach out over the Loch Feel your hand across the water Walk with you along an unapproved road Not looking over my shoulder I wanna see, and I wanna hear To understand your fears But we're north and south of the river I've been doing it wrong all of my life This holy town has turned me over A young man running from what he didn't understand As the wind from the Loch just blew colder and colder There was a badness that had its way But love wasn't lost, it just got mislaid North and south of the river North and south of the river Can we stop playing these old tattoo's Darling I don't have the answer I wanna meet you where you are I don't need ya to surrender There is no feeling so alone As when the one you're hurting is your own North and south of the river North and south of the river Some high ground is not worth taking And some connections are not worth making There's an old church bell no longer ringing And some old songs are not worth bringing North and south of the river North and south of the river Horn e|-------------------------------------------| B|----10-13-10----15-10----13-10----------10-| G|-12----------12-------12-------12-10-12----| D|-------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------| Strings e|-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-10-8--8-10-| B|---------------------------------| G|---------------------------------| D|---------------------------------| A|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------|
