Originally recorded for the CD "Ballads of The Book", a lovely collaborative venture between Scottish writers and Scottish musicians thought up by Roddy Woomble and eminent poet Edwin Morgan and released by Chemikal Underground Records in 2007.
lyrics
The Good Years
Wherever you are
You shall be my star
Flashing near or smouldering far
I am happy when I bask in your light
All I ask is that you may bask
In my mind I hear the sound
Of every happy fount
Fresh as fresh is found
We're singing without tears
We're clinging without fears
