There's that silver city shining in the sun
laying by the grey North Sea beyond the river's run
to the sound of Marischal College bells ringing thru the town
I left my heart in Aberdeen with the lovely Heather Brown
She was just a schoolgirl then lord, but we were young
we didn't know what love was but we heard the song it sung
I was just a boy of seventeen apprenticed in the town
when I left my heart in Aberdeen with the lovely Heather Brown
Her hair was the colour of true love
her eyes as clear as water from a spring
her voice when she spoke was a ripple of laughter
oh, will I ever hear that sound again?
Many years have come and gone and I've played so many tunes
but loves first song's a fleeting bird
I'll capture one day soon
I swear I met her spirit once on a street in London Town
and I flew back to Aberdeen in the company of Heather Brown
Her hair was the colour of true love
her eyes as clear as water from a spring
her voice when she spoke was a ripple of laughter
oh, will I ever hear that sound again?
Sitting in the twilight now and I'm half a world away
she has her life and I got mine I guess there's nothing left to say
Ah but one day when the sun won't rise and the skies come rolling down
I swear that day, again I'll lay with the lovely Heather Brown
