 2x
 Well, there s a river  that runs through Glasgow
 And it makes  up and it breaks  up
 And it takes  her in two parts
 And the current  just like my blood  flows
 Down from the hills
Round  aching bones  to my restless heart
 Well, I  would swim but the river  is so wide
Scared  I won t make  it to the other  side
God  knows that I ve failed,
 But he knows  that I ve tried
 I long  for something that s safe  and warm
 But all  I have is so often  is gone
 And it s helpless  and it s hopeless
 As a feather  on the Clyde
 But on one  side all the lights  glow
 and the folks  know when the kids  go
 And the music  and the drinking starts
 On the other  side where no cars go
 Up to the hills  that stand alone
 Like my restless heart
 But, I  would swim but the river  is so wide
Scared  I won t make  it to the other  side
God  knows that I ve failed,
 But he knows  that I ve tried
 I long  for something that s safe  and warm
 But all  I have is so often  is gone
 And it s helpless  and it s hopeless
 As a feather  on the Clyde
 2x
 The sun  sets late in Glasgow
 The daylight and the city part
 And I think of you in Glasgow
 Your always safe, your  always home
My  restless heart.  . . .

Well, there s a [D]river that runs through [G]Glasgow
And it [Bm]makes up and it [D]breaks up
And it [G]takes her in two [D]parts
And the [G]current just like my [D]blood flows [Bm]
Down from the [G]hills
[Bm]Round aching [G]bones to my restless [D]heart

[D] [G]

Well, [G]I would swim but the [D]river is so [A]wide
[G]Scared I won t [D]make it to the [A]other side
[G]God knows that I ve [D]failed,
But he [Bm]knows that I ve [G]tried

I [G]long for something that s [D]safe and [A]warm
But [G]all I have is so [D]often is [A]gone
And it s [G]helpless and it s [D]hopeless
As a [A]feather on the [D]Clyde

[G] [A] [D] [G]  [G] [Bm] [G]  [D]

But on [G]one side all the [D]lights glow
and the [Bm]folks know when the [D]kids go
And the [G]music and the drinking [D]starts
On the [G]other side where no cars [D]go
Up to the [G]hills that stand a[Bm]lone
Like my [G]restless [D]heart

But, [G]I would swim but the [D]river is so [A]wide
[G]Scared I won t [D]make it to the [A]other side

But he [Bm]knows that I ve [G]tried

I [G]long for something that s [D]safe and [A]warm
But [G]all I have is so [D]often is [A]gone
