lyrics

When I left the bubble,
I had a dream,
Of playing to hundreds,
On the music scene,
In Edinburgh.

I'd circle the city,
Just me and my guitar.
Playing to drunkards,
Propped up at the bar,
Who have no idea where they are..

But life as a dreamer,
Soon has it's pearls.
When the warmth of fantasy,
Collides with a world,
Too cold to understand

And life in the city's,
As cold as a stone.
Watching the dust gather,
On the phone.
Sitting alone

When sunlight's a privilege,
And company's rare.
No one to talk to,
And no-one to share.
And nobody cares..

But on the corner of Albert Street,
In a place where coffee's made,
It says 'Do Not Be Afraid'

Painted on yellow,
In a gorgeous violet shade,
It says 'Do Not Be Afraid'

I try to walk by there,
Once every day.
To drive all my doubts and fears away,
So I won't be afraid

So I won't be afraid
So I won't be afraid
Do not be afraid

Do not be afraid
Do not be afraid
Do not be afraid
