And it seems like I'll miss Autumn in Edinburgh,
That's the one I should have spent with you,
With the rain lashing down, a fog on the Meadows,
As the Festival lights, as the Festival lights go dim.

Been wandering round this town trying to pass some time.
It seems I know these streets, as well as I know mine,
The clock has turned to Five,perhaps you'll be home soon.
I'll call and say I'm missing you, and then hang up the phone.

And it seems like I'll miss Autumn in Edinburgh,
That's the one I should have spent with you,
With the rain lashing down, a fog on the Meadows,
As the Festival lights, as the Festival lights go dim.

And everybody's written a song, which says
You've been on the road
Been on the road so long.
