Pibroch (Cap in Hand) 
  
  

             Em          C   D                 Em 
There's a light in the house in the wood in the valley. 
            C           B7           Am 
There's a thought in the head of the man. 

        Em          C   D                           Em 
Who carries his dreams like the coat slung on his shoulder, 
              C           B7           Am 
Bringing you love in the cap in his hand. 
  

And each step he takes is one half of a lifetime: 
no word he would say could you understand. 
So he bundles his regrets into a gesture of sorrow, 
Bringing you love cap in hand. 
Catching breath as he looks through the dining-room window: 
candle lit table for two has been laid. 
Strange slippers by the fire. 
Strange boots in the hallway. 
Put my cap on my head. 
I turn and walk away.
