Fog on the Tyne
 |
| Lindisfarne Castle |
I said to myself - 'Look at all that fog covering the whole of Glasgow' - as I got ready to travel through to Edinburgh - which was delightfully sunny by the way.
Then I thought of 'Fog on the Tyne' - a hit song many years ago by Lindisfarne a 1960s rock group from the north east of England.
Then I thought 'Fog on the Tyne' wasn't much of a song - but that Lindisfarne had another big hit which was a really memorable tune.
And after a while I finally remembered what it was - 'Meet Me On The Corner'.
All of which just goes to show that I might have a strange train of thought sometimes - but the old memory's still working.
Here are the words to the song and a You Tube link.

'Meet me on the corner' - Lindisfarne
Hey mister dream seller
Where have you been.
Tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song,
Can you spare one dream for me?
You wont have met me,
And you'll soon forget.
So don't mind me tugging at your sleeve.
I'm asking you,
If I can fix a rendezvous,
For your dreams are all I believe.
[Chorus]
Meet me on the corner,
When the lights are coming on,
And I'll be there.
I promise I'll be there.
Down the empty streets,
We'll disappear into the dawn,
If you have dreams enough to share.
Lay down your bundles,
Of rags and reminders,
And spread your wears on the ground.
Well I've got time,
If you're dealing mine,
I'm just hanging around.
[Chorus]
Hey mister dream seller,
Where have you been.
Tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song,
-Can you spare one dream for me?
