Whin a Wiz a Laddie

Wunce ah wiz shining
glowin like a fire-ba
ah wiz swellin' an soarin'
christ ah wiz dancin'
dizzy wit it a
sick wi wunner
an delicht

...

Nivir haudin massel back
taking it a' in, ken
like findin' oot
but ye hud tae find oot
ye jist hud tae
whitivir it wiz

...

Wurlds upoan wurlds
subtleties o' sensayshun an feelin'
achin tae git tae it
achin' an achin'
fur sae lang
but it broke ma hert
fur ah kidnae haud it
an it slipped awa fae me

...

Whit a strange agonisin journey

in this terrifyin' wunnerful
clarty wurld
