Cobwebs cover my walls and my ceiling
Gives me the feeling that I'm leaving you
Cobwebs smother the eyes of another
Then you discover that she's leaving too

Dustbins full of paper and glue
These were all part of the things that we knew
Now she's gone and she lives with her sister
And oh how you've missed her and that would not do

I spent years as my fathers apprentice
He was a dentist in East Ayrshire
I was old then and getting no younger
And soon had the hair on my head disappear

All my life I can't see how I took it
All of my friends call me sky west and crooked
All my life I can't see how I took it
All of my friends call me sky west and crooked

All of my friends call me sky west and crooked
All of my friends call me sky west and crooked
