My stone skips seven times across the loch
My childhood long I never could achieve this
I wish my brother had been here to witness
My brother told me I threw like a girl
My childhood long I never could achieve this
Strange that it still means something now I’m fifty
My brother told me I threw like a girl
He’d laugh at me because I was so useless
Strange that it still means something now I’m fifty
And water, stone and brother reassemble
He’d laugh at me because I was so useless
I’d hold his hand as we walked up to school
And water, stone and brother reassemble
My stone skips seven times across the loch
I’d hold his hand as we walked up to school
I wish my brother had been here to witness
My childhood long I never could achieve this
I wish my brother had been here to witness
My brother told me I threw like a girl
My childhood long I never could achieve this
Strange that it still means something now I’m fifty
My brother told me I threw like a girl
He’d laugh at me because I was so useless
Strange that it still means something now I’m fifty
And water, stone and brother reassemble
He’d laugh at me because I was so useless
I’d hold his hand as we walked up to school
And water, stone and brother reassemble
My stone skips seven times across the loch
I’d hold his hand as we walked up to school
I wish my brother had been here to witness
