In the hours of a sunset rendezvous Chill against tide that carries me through you Got a job in a southern city, got lead-free in my tank Now I must whisper goodbye, I'm for the mainland
in the city, cut by a cold sea People moving on an ocean, of humanity
Now the sun breaks through as I climb Glen Shiel On the of those old cattlemen who drove their bargain south again And in the eyes of those five, sisters of Kintail a wink of seduction from the mainland
Island in the city, cut by a sea People on an ocean, groundswell of humanity on the high-rise, their words are spray to the wind Blown like silent laughter, on ears of tin
Take my heart and my brawn Take by or take by storm Set my brain to I can see the glow of the lights I'm fresh the out-world Singin' the mainland Was in mainland

There's a road that winds to heaven's door a fat ferry floats on muted diesel roar And there's a on the hillside and there's a flame in her eyes But how cold the lights on the mainland
Island in the city, cut by a sea People movin' on an ocean, groundswell of on the high-rise, their words are spray to the wind Blown like silent laughter and on ears of tin In my blues
