about

‘The nights are fair drawin’ in’ is a well-used and well-loved saying in Aberdeenshire from mid-summer until the winter solstice.

lyrics

A young lass walks along the shore
Free from any shackles
And plants her feet firm in the sand
Like roots along the tide line

The sun sets on the hills of home
The nights are fair drawin' in now
The leaves are turning, turning o’er
And like the swifts they’re gone now

The minutes pass and turn to hours
The weeks condense to years now
To box these dreams and memories
We surely set them free o’

She’s tried anger, sadness, joy
The cogs they turn to rust
But the morning light breaks through the haar
The warmth negates the coldness
