Steep Canyon Rangers - Ghost of Glasgow

Stuck in the rain
Too late for the 10:30 train
I got a ticket for one
How is it that you’re still tagging along?
Well let’s go pay your tabs
Up and down the road
This cab driver won’t stop talking about the year that the river froze

And a young man fell when the ice broke
He said have you heard of the ghost of Glasgow?

So I made a few calls
Seems all of your friends have long moved on
They sent me downtown to a couple of spots you used to hang around
Well let’s go walk these streets to the banks below
The riverkeep says I remind him of someone he used to know

How they carried him in still soaked to the bone
And he pours out a drink to the ghost of Glasgow

Following the sound of voices laughing
Down an empty street
The first time in a long time
I felt you watching over me

Scotland the Brave, that’s the song they played for the last serenade
It was a king’s farewell
Leaving empties on the steps of a cheap hotel
Well let’s go pay those tabs
And we can call them closed
This bartender swears I remind him of someone he used to know
And he starts to look a little bit closer
And he starts to talk a little bit slower
He says you’re here to find your brother
And walk these streets with the ghost of Glasgow
And share one more drink with the ghost of Glasgow
Yeah and walk these streets with the ghost of Glasgow
And share one more drink with the ghost of Glasgow
