The road to Wick goes up and down, round the loch and into town
I'm on the bus and I can see America has poisoned me
The embankment spells the name of your location
A pentagram of flowers for all occasions
Once upon a distant isle, dreamless nights and many miles
That lay ahead, there is no bed out here at sea, but I still sleep
Scrabster is a place that suits me fine
But Wick and further south are on my mind
Inverness is a real cool town. I'm diggin' that crazy beat
But when the city starts to wear me down, it's time to make some tracks to where the lovin's sweet
On the bus and I can say, when it stops in Wick, that's where I'll stay
Play the fife, live the life, watch the sea endlessly
Scrabster is a place that suits me fine
But Wick and further south are on my mind
