 My heart was broken, my heart was broken,

Sorrow, sorrow, sorrow, sorrow.

You saw it, you claimed it, you touched it; you saved it.

 My tears are drying, my tears are drying,

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Your beauty and kindness, made tears clear my blindness.

 I will be with you.

Any football fans out there check out Hibs supports singing this at Hamden Park after winning the cup. Makes the hairs go!!

I grew up in Leith and we would go sing this song in the park every time we had a sunny day (once every 3 months or so). Great tab, thanks for making it!

my late Mothers fav song, had the privalage of playing this to her when she was on this earth,,. thanks to this i could, luv from a Scotsman.
