The Road to Aberdeen
I thought I saw my mother's Eyes
On the road to Aberdeen,
And they did shine above a stranger's smile,
They were the colour of the sea.
And one day I'll take my mother there to see what I have seen,
The eyes of her great-grandmother,
On the road to Aberdeen.
Now I thought I heard my grandfather's voice,
Along the coast of Wales,
Singing sweet afternoon in Cardiff park
With the wind that gusts the gales.
And one day I'll tke my father there
To sing the harmony,
And he'll sing high across the waters,
In his grandfather's voice he'll sing.
Old land you are holy,
To the children 'cross the sea,
It's old land, may the sea understand,
We are all one family.
In a flower shop in Amsterdam

I saw Grandmother's hands.
They were the fragile grace of porcelain
With small gold wedding band.
And the tulip that I purchased there
Is pressed upon a page,
In a book of psalms Grandmother saved
From her grandmother's Holland days.
Now my sister has Gradmother's hands
And a skin of ivory,
And my brother has my mother's eyes,
They're the colour of the sea.
And me, I got my father'svoice (and his legs),
To the coast of Wales I seek,
An I do cherish these remembrances
On the road to Aberdeen.
It's old land and it's holy,
To the children 'cross the sea,
It's old land, may the sea understand we are all one family.
