Cold Highland wind
Fire burning low
Some places leave you
Some never let you go

Calling back to me
Calling back to me

Every lonely highway
Brings you back to me

And no matter where I go
No matter what I see
The Highlands and the ocean
Keep calling back to me

We chased the fading daylight
Down the western coast
Tiny lights in old stone windows
Like they knew us most

Rain upon the windshield
Ocean in the air
Every road felt endless
Like we belonged somewhere

Now the miles grow longer
And the night runs deep
But I still hear the Highlands
Calling out to me

Calling back to me
Calling back to me

Every lonely highway
Brings you back to me

And no matter where I go
No matter what I see
The Highlands and the ocean
Keep calling back to me

Morning over Cairngorms
Silver in the sky
Silent rivers moving slow
Like the years passing by

Wester Ross behind us
Still burning in my soul
Like an old forgotten song
I can never let go

Now the road leads homeward
But my heart still runs free
Through the rain and distant mountains
Calling back to me

Calling back to me
Calling back to me

Every lonely highway
Brings you back to me

And no matter where I go
No matter what I see
The Highlands and the ocean
Keep calling back to me

Maybe home’s not one place
Maybe home’s a feeling too
Somewhere in the Highlands
I left a part of you

Calling back to me
Calling back to me

Every winding road
Still brings me to my knees

And though the fire grows cold
One thing will always be
The Highlands and the ocean
Keep calling back to me

Cold Highland wind
Morning light on the sea
And somewhere far away
Scotland still calls me
