Lyrics

The call arrives too late to be good news
I wake and answer like a drunk confused
A fragile voice hangs on a troubled line
"Come quick, your father's nearly out of time."
Great Western Road deserted, 3am
Behind the wheel and heading north again
Eleven years and still I know each turn
Old habits are the hardest to unlearn
Behind, the glowing city's fading fast
Ahead, the years of questions never asked
Beyond the headlights, endless silent black
All signs are just reflections staring back
Along the moor the signals fade, then die
The lochans still, like shards of fallen sky
Before the dawn, thick fog fills up Glen Coe
No calls connect; there's nowhere I can go
You gave me, father, life without a chart
No sovereign but my own capricious heart
A freedom that determined me alone
Disinherited, hesitant, wind-blown
I leave the car, and stumble through the mist
Then morning breaks the ancient mountain crest
Ahead, an iridescent figure looms
A brocken man transfiguring the gloom
A presence somehow intimate and wild
I hide my face in fear, yet he beguiles
An ageless power taking on my frame
My shadow held within a greater flame
The fog lifts, I get in my car and drive
The spectre on the hill remains alive
I dial the number I could not forget
Leave old Glen Coe, and hope the call connects
