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.

I worked in Leith docks from 1989-1999 at British pipe coaters and knew the cafe well as we would grab a roll on the way into work. Leith docks are unfortunately unrecognisable now, nothing to show for the hundreds of years of history which is a shame for anyone who worked there it really was like no other place ive worked. After working at the docks i started driving buses in Edinburgh and on one of the routes id pick up one of the proclaimers, always polite and grateful to be taken to tollcross. Ive just retired and moved to fife but every time i hear this song im taken back to sunny(not always) Leith the best time of my life i loved it.
