Thrift (Dig In, Dig In) [feat. Karine Polwart]

On the mountain ledge

at the island edge,

dig in, dig in

Where the raven lifts

and the falcon shifts

dig in, dig in

High above the rockpool and the wrackline

High above the saltmarsh and the sand, you're clinging on

Little Thrift, sing out your song

dig in, dig in

Where the machair clings

And the selkie sings

dig in, dig in

Under granite skies

Where the gannet flies

dig in dig in

High above the rockpool and the wrackline

High above the saltmarsh and the sand, you're clinging on

Little Thrift, sing out your song

dig in, dig in

dig in, dig in

Ah kaa sing yé

Dankene yah muñio lé meta

Fo ka sing santo sing douma sing badala sing yeyeye yow

Ah Ka sing a sing sing iyé iyé iyé AAh sing yé

Thrift's gift is, Thrift's grace is

to thrive in harsh places

And show us hardship is a limit not a failing

Show us how to live in hope against the odds, you're clinging on,

Oh little Thrift, sing out your song

High above the rockpool and the wrackline

High above the saltmarsh and the sand,

you're clinging on

Little Thrift, sing out your song

dig in, dig in

dig in, dig in
