Pibroch (Cap In Hand)

There's a light in the house
In the wood in the valley
There's a thought in the head of the man
Who carries his dreams
Like the coat slung on his shoulder
Bringing you love in the cap in his hand

And each step he takes
Is one half of a lifetime
No word he would say that you understand
So, he bundles his regrets
Into a gesture of sorrow
Bringing you love, cap in hand

Catching breath
As he looks through the dining room window
Candle lit table for two has been laid
Strange slippers by the fire
Strange boots in the hallway
Put my cap on my head, I turn and walk away, hey
