Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
The drinking dens are spilling out, there's staggering in the square
There's lads and lasses falling about and a crackling in the air
Down around the dungeon doors, the shelters and the keeps
Everybody's looking for somebody's arms to fall into
That's what it is
It's what it is now
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
Yeah, there's frost on the graves and the monuments but the taverns are warm in town
People curse the government and shovel hot food down
Lights are out in city hall, the castle and the keep
Moon shines down upon it all, the legless and asleep
Pre-Chorus 1
Cold on the tollgate with the wagons creeping through
Cold on the tollgate, God knows what I can do with you
That's what it is
It's what it is now
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
The garrison sleeps in the citadel with the ghosts and the ancient stones
High on the parapet a Scottish piper stands alone
High on the wind the highland drums begin to roll
And something from the past just comes and stares into my soul
Pre-Chorus 2
Cold on the tollgate with a Caledonian blues
Cold on the tollgate, God knows what I can do with you
That's what it is
It's what it is now
What it is
It's what it is now
Solo

Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick, there's a lantern in the tower
Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick still writing songs in the wee wee hours
On Charlotte Street I take a walking stick for my hotel
The ghost of Dirty Dick is still in search of Little Nell
That's what it is
It's what it is now
What it is
It's what it is now
