The Magic Of A Kind Word (BBC Session)

[Isobel Campbell]
When I think of all the sorrow
It is hard to take a breath
People fighting one another
And I feel there's nothing left
When I feel there's nothing left

[Stuart Murdoch & Stevie Jackson]
Hey, cut me loose
Now I'm feeling fine
Yeah, I'm feeling fine
Shake worldly blues
Now I'm feeling fine
Yeah, I'm feeling fine

We're just like traffic in a big town
You better stop, you better slow down

[Isobel Campbell & Sarah Martin]
And a man I know is sleeping (no, he's gone)
Until those northern spirits send
All the magic of a kind word (of afar)
You will always be a friend
We take comfort in them

[All]
Hey, cut me loose
Now I'm feeling fine
Yeah I'm feeling fine
Shake worldly blues
Now I'm feeling fine
Yeah, I'm feeling fine

And there's enough to share, to go 'round
You better stop, you better slow down

[Isobel Campbell & Sarah Martin]
La la la la
La la la la
Woo

[All]
And you never see your brother (he'll cut work)
You'll make him smile so see him someday (walk and wait)
If we're happier tomorrow (hope we'll try)
We'll be living for today
We'll be living for today
