Sunshine On Leith Lyrics
My heart was broken
My heart was broken
Sorrow, sorrow
Sorrow, sorrow
My heart was broken
My heart was broken
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
My tears are drying
My tears are drying
Your beauty and kindness
Made tears clear my blindness
While I'm worth
My room on this Earth
I will be with you
While the Chief
Puts sunshine on Leith
I'll thank Him
For His work
And your birth
And my birth
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My heart was broken
My heart was broken
Sorrow, sorrow
Sorrow, sorrow
My heart was broken
My heart was broken
You saw it, you claimed it
You touched it, you saved it
While I'm worth
My room on this Earth
I will be with you
While the Chief
Puts sunshine on Leith
I'll thank Him
For His work
And your birth
And my birth
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
