lyrics

I promised my baby as she walked by my side
Down Princes Street after midnight
That I'd love her forever, forever and a day
But she doesn't quite hear me ‘cause a bagpiper plays

And the football fans all come running
Waving Hibernian scarves
Screaming at Edinburgh Castle
Smashing up windows and cars

Now the road is deserted, we're alone once again
Except for the sound of the bagpiper playing
And I tell her I'm jealous, and she doesn't deny
And I tell her it's over, and she's starting to cry

She says I'm the one that she loves
As she wipes a tear off her face
But I'm too proud to stop humming
The tune that the bagpiper plays

And now we are walking past dark shop windows
I see our reflection, we look just like ghosts
