[Verse] South from the castle, past the Pentland hills Where the mist settles on the window sills Left the city bustle for the quiet lane Back to the valley in the Scottish rain We were young in the shade of the paper mill Everything is quiet, everything is still Jo is waiting by the garden gate Telling me I’m lucky that I wasn’t late [Chorus] Home in Penicuik Right where I belong Home in Penicuik Singing out our song The road leads back to you It’s been a long, long haul Back to the Esk river Back through it all [Verse] Ronflex is sleeping on the kitchen floor Hardly even noticed when I walked through the door He’s heavy and he’s happy in a patch of light Dreaming through the morning and the afternoon white We poured a little drink to the years gone by Looking at the clouds in the Edinburgh sky It’s a different pace, it’s a slower beat Feeling every stone underneath my feet [Chorus] Home in Penicuik Right where I belong Home in Penicuik Singing out our song The road leads back to you It’s been a long, long haul Back to the Esk river Back through it all [Bridge] Edinburgh towers seem so far away I think I’m gonna choose to stay Forget the neon, forget the noise Back to the simple, back to the joys [Chorus] Home in Penicuik Right where I belong Home in Penicuik Singing out our song The road leads back to you It’s been a long, long haul Back to the Esk river Back through it all [Outro]
