A tribute to a Legend.
Up at five and really so keen,
To see the bond of man and machine
3 hours to drive to get to the start
We all have a laugh and so full of heart
We know it is early, the weather is damp
But we need to see cars come off the ramp
Through fog and rain we push on with style
We know the main man is due in a while
Then comes a whistle, the marshal says time
A car is now coming through forests of pine
Its howl is so frightening, like a banshee on heat
There is no escape, as we shuffle our feet
And suddenly now its why we are here
McRae over crest of course in top gear!
Its been worth the wait, the weather, the toil,
To see the brave Scot here on home soil
But now there is silence, and its deafening too
Cos you and the wee man have bid us adieu.
So rest in peace Colin you and your lad
You gave us your best, John be proud of your dad.
The memories you left us are above all the rest
You shone like a star, just simply the best.
Colin you're a mate and thats what we all thought
It made you a hero and that just cant be bought.
Now your in heaven with your boy and at rest
But you left us the true meaning of FLAT OVER CREST! .
