lyrics

William, William of Berwick on Tweed,
thoughts of fish and family...
gone.

William you won't let the ink run or bleed,
turn the page, return to me.
Perched on the banks of Spey and Tyne,
mind the drift and mend the line.

William your pen casts these shadows I see.
A turn of the wrist, now it burns in me.
New streams to cross and the mantle is mine,
to mind the drift and mend the line.
