The wind is tracing silver lines Across the frozen shore Fo sgàil a’ gheamhraidh I feel you near me in the quiet [Verse] The harbour lights are flickering Shivering in the cold Every breath I take feels softer Like the night is letting go I walk the winter streets alone Where our voices will always stay Now it’s only fading snow Through this quiet of Aberdeen [Pre-Chorus] I reach for something warm But the sky keeps pulling under Still I hear your footsteps faintly In the snow’s low thunder [Chorus] Keep me close to the Aberdeen shore Where the waves don’t speak your name anymore But I feel you anyway In the cold, in the drifting light Anam fo’n oidhche I still carry you through the quiet [Verse 2] Frost is clinging to the windows Holding onto time And the city feels much older With you no longer by my side I hear the midnight gulls crying Like a warning from the sea Even when the world is silent Your memory won’t leave me If the winter ever softens If the dawn breaks through the blue Maybe all this frozen darkness Will melt and lead me back to you Thoir dhachaigh mi If you hear me in the wind [Final Chorus] Keep me close to the Aberdeen shore Where the night grows thin and the shadows pour But I feel you anyway In the cold where the heart can’t hide Anam fo’n oidhche Stay with me Through the quiet tide The wind is tracing silver lines And I follow them to you
