lyrics

I never asked for fortune I never asked for fame
I just love the sound the water makes while murmuring your name
So let’s look out the walking boots you can take me by the hand
And we’ll go where the Dighty runs and take the path inland.

Towards the distant Lundie Crags where springs the bonnie burn
Then down the leafy Mill o’ Mains with all its twists and turns
Baldovan to the Trottick ponds, Drumgeith, Balmossie bridge
The towering seven arches and we’re on the final stretch.

With the babbling burn for company we’ll stride towards the sea
Where the Dighty ends its journey it begins for you and me
Well I never asked for fortune and I never asked for fame
I just love the sounds the water makes while murmuring your name.
