Strum
D-DU-UDU
Ten  year have passed in what  seems like a minute
 Just a restless boy intent on having fun
 Now I step  down from the bus  beside my old school
 A wiser man now that  the journey's done.
  I've learnt silence  from those that speak their mind
  I've learnt kindness  from those  who are unkind
  I've travelled round  the world in search  of what  I need
  Found it all  waiting back home in Aberdeen.
 The river's lullaby that once subdued me
 And the buzzing hills that improvised a wall
 Are sweet now I no longer seek an answer
 To the self-imposing saddest songs of all
  And from that bitter root there grows a vine
  That shows regret for wasted years is wasted time
  I’ve travelled round the world in search of what I need
  Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen
 Opaque clouds unmask a worried old face
 But the images dissolve behind a tree
 Unafraid of change and happy now in small ways
 There is now as there always was, just me.
  And though the future is far off this much I know
  Nothing’s as far away as one minute ago
  I've travelled round the world in search of what I need
  Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen
 I’ve travelled round the world in search of what I need
  Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen
