Lyrics |
Last night I heard the voice of Thomas Fraser And the comfort of his words came to my ears By a willow he was singing to the catfish And time had withered not his tender years Oh time had withered not his tender years And the hummingbirds were singing while he played his old guitar And with every word he sang the breeze was still And a light was shining down upon the water from his eye If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will If he sang of life's misfortunes he would sing up to the sky As he struggled through the dangers of the deep And a moment when he gazed upon a Shetland moon And a love song for his family in their sleep Oh a love song for his family in their sleep And the hummingbirds were singing while he played his old guitar And with every word he sang the breeze was still And a light was shining down upon the water from his eye If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will And the song that Thomas sang contained a warning To the young men down in Buckie and beyond Who hunt the shoals of heroin and crack that has no ring There's a depth you cannot fathom then you're gone Oh the ghosts of men and whitefish that are gone And the hummingbirds were singing while he played his old guitar And with every word he sang the breeze was still And a light was shining down upon the water from his eye If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will If you join him by the willow you'll be welcome To soothe the savage breast his voice will try You all will be made welcome there where peace of mind has curly hair Thomas sings and plays to tell us why Oh Thomas sings and plays to tell us why And the hummingbirds were singing while he played his old guitar And with every word he sang the breeze was still And a light was shining down upon the water from his eye If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will As Thomas sang his song a baby sang along If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will |
