Lyrics
I'm talking with my father, he's talking with his son
And I don't need to look any further for the one I have become
He says listen to that curlew that's a sound I love to hear
It's a strange relfection that we look through oh that finally finds us here
In this place where life's learnt thunders
In this place whre time holds still
In this place of harmony and wonder and values not of gold fulfil
I'm talking with my father across these gentle Perthshire hills,
It’s timeless mysteries that we gather to make the memories that we fill
He says don't fix what is not broken no need to find what's not been lost
It's a heavy gate we have to open an endless field we have to cross
There will always be the brave one there'll be the one who turns away
With all too many things left undone oh and so much left to say
I'm talking with my father, he's talking with his son
I don't need to look any further for the one I have become
