Auld Wives Lyrics by Bear’s Den

Red Earth & Pouring Rain

2016

[Verse 1]
Auld Wives' Lifts, Auld Wives' Lifts
How have you got here?
Where do you come from?
What do you tell?
I see his face
I see his face carved deep in the stone
Another mind you have taken away

[Chorus]
But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all that you've left behind
And the Auld Wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name

[Verse 2]
Now I call your name
I call your name, but you can't hear me now
No, you don't recognise my face
Who are you?
Who are you and why do you call me that?
How dare you call me that!

[Chorus]
But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all that you've left behind
And the Auld Wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name

[Bridge]
But I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
A trace of all that you've left behind
And the Auld Wives swore that you were born to die
Without a child for to call out your name
