The Union Canal Lyrics – Robin Laing
Singer: Robin Laing
Title: The Union Canal
〈Chorus〉
Fountainbridge to Falkirk, over Almondell
By Ratho and Linlithgow weaves a magic spell
Fountainbridge to Falkirk, over Almondell
Follow the windings of the Union Canal
Follow the windings of the Union Canal
〈Verse 1〉
As a child I was enchanted by swans among the reeds
Tadpoles in my jamjar, minnows in the weed
Gazing from the towpath, on my hands and knees
Sunlight on the water, the wind in the willow trees
Thinking on those early days, I was always there
Swinging out on Tarzan ropes, drop in for a dare
Summer was the magic time, but Winter had its day
Skating on the ice until the daylight slipped away
〈Chorus〉
Fountainbridge to Falkirk, over Almondell
By Ratho and Linlithgow weaves a magic spell
Fountainbridge to Falkirk, over Almondell
Follow the windings of the Union Canal
Follow the windings of the Union Canal
〈Verse 2〉
The Union is a quiet place, a relic from the past
See the old stone bridges, they were made to last
It’s just a sad backwater, lazy, deep and slow
A sleepy road that used to be a moving picture show
For once the traffic pulsed along, a beat that had no rest
Lifeline for the Lothians, a gateway to the West
Passengers by the thousands, scows of coal and grain
The Union carried everything before the railways came
〈Chorus〉
Fountainbridge to Falkirk, over Almondell
By Ratho and Linlithgow weaves a magic spell
Fountainbridge to Falkirk, over Almondell
Follow the windings of the Union Canal
Follow the windings of the Union Canal
〈Verse 3〉
A casualty of progress, stranded high and dry
The Union was discarded, left to waste and die
Broken and neglected, falling to decay
All those weary Winter days, lonely, cold and grey
Those winter years are past now,the water feels the sun
The fight against the brambles and silting up is won
Narrow boats and barges steer the old canal
Slipping through the countryside that I have loved so well
〈Chorus〉
Fountainbridge to Falkirk, over Almondell
By Ratho and Linlithgow weaves a magic spell
Fountainbridge to Falkirk, over Almondell
Follow the windings of the Union Canal
Follow the windings of the Union Canal

〈Ayat 1
Sebagai seorang anak saya terpesona oleh angsa di antara buluh
Berudu di jamjar saya, ikan kecil di gulma
Menatap dari jalan setapak, di tangan dan lutut saya
Sinar matahari di atas air, angin di pohon willow
Memikirkan hari -hari awal itu, saya selalu ada
Berayun di tali Tarzan, mampirlah untuk berani
Musim panas adalah waktu ajaib, tapi musim dingin memiliki hari
Skating di atas es sampai siang hari tergelincir
Fountainbridge ke Falkirk, lebih dari Almondell
Oleh Ratho dan Linlithgow menjalin mantra ajaib
Fountainbridge ke Falkirk, lebih dari Almondell

〈Ayat 2 amar
Persatuan adalah tempat yang tenang, peninggalan dari masa lalu
Lihat jembatan batu tua, mereka dibuat untuk bertahan
Itu hanya air terpencil yang menyedihkan, malas, dalam dan lambat
Jalan mengantuk yang dulunya adalah pertunjukan gambar yang bergerak
Untuk sekali lalu lintas berdenyut, ketukan yang tidak ada istirahat
Lifeline untuk Lothian, pintu gerbang ke barat
Penumpang oleh ribuan orang, melemahkan batu bara dan biji -bijian
Persatuan membawa segalanya sebelum kereta api datang
Fountainbridge ke Falkirk, lebih dari Almondell
Oleh Ratho dan Linlithgow menjalin mantra ajaib
Fountainbridge ke Falkirk, lebih dari Almondell

〈Ayat 3
Korban kemajuan, terdampar tinggi dan kering
Serikat dibuang, dibiarkan sia -sia dan mati
Rusak dan diabaikan, jatuh untuk membusuk
Semua hari musim dingin yang lelah itu, kesepian, dingin dan abu -abu
Tahun -tahun musim dingin sudah lewat sekarang, air terasa matahari
Pertarungan melawan semak -semak dan merendam dimenangkan
Perahu sempit dan tongkang mengarahkan kanal tua
Menyelinap melalui pedesaan yang sangat saya sukai
Fountainbridge ke Falkirk, lebih dari Almondell
Oleh Ratho dan Linlithgow menjalin mantra ajaib
Fountainbridge ke Falkirk, lebih dari Almondell
