Concorde; yer appointed nem, Nae ither aircraft can carry yer fem, Ye had it aw, be it guid or bad, We savour... yon hours ye had. Noo, it's time tae throttle doon, I ken ye feel, it's aw tae soon, Ye'll miss yon puffy gosamer clouds, Or seek yon stars, bear or plough. We wait fer yer last Edinburgh Flicht, Ever sae welcome, ye bonny sicht, Wi yer awesome pooer dinna delay, Guid Fortune... wull show yer way. This work is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
