Lyrics

"Under Barrhead’s Sky"

(Verse 1)
Under Barrhead’s sky so wide,
My father worked with strength and pride.
From the merchant’s deck to the factory floor,
Steel and fire, a man of lore.

And my mother walked the midnight halls,
Through weary steps and silent calls.
Helping hands for those in need,
With kindness sown in word and deed.

(Chorus)
Oh, the years roll on, the river flows,
But love remains where the heart still knows.
Through hands that built, through eyes that shone,
Their strength still carries us along.

(Verse 2)
On Monday nights, the arrows flew,
At Brigg Inn where the laughter grew.
And weekends took the winding roads,
With lines cast out, with fishing rods.

By Inveraray’s silver tide,
We watched the ripples dance and glide.
With patient hands and hopeful cheer,
We cast our dreams on waters clear.

(Chorus)
Oh, the years roll on, the river flows,
But love remains where the heart still knows.
Through hands that built, through eyes that shone,
Their strength still carries us along.

(Bridge)
From Heather Avenue’s painted walls,
To childhood days when adventure calls.
They never failed, they stood so tall,
A love so fierce, it conquers all.

(Final Chorus)
Oh, the years roll on, the river flows,
But love remains where the heart still knows.
Through hands that built, through eyes that shone,
Their strength still carries us along.

(Outro)
So here’s to them, our guiding light,
Through Barrhead’s day and Paisley’s night.
With fishing rods and memories high,
Their love still shines under this sky.
