A song started before lockdown that all of a sudden took on a whole new meaning when football across the country came to a stand still. A love letter to Firhill and all other footballing Mecca’s, big and small. Longing for the day we click through their turnstiles once again.
lyrics
Just like an albatross, we ran from George's Cross
We never failed to answer when we were called
And even when we lost, and had to count the cost
We still sang loud
But I'll return to Firhill Road
Till the last day I am breathing
The place I'll always call my home
Even when the rain is falling
We'll be back there soon
On a Saturday afternoon
I never knew how much I loved you till you were gone
And when that whistle blows, and in the sun the rain the snow
We'll do you proud
But I'll return to Firhill Road
Till the last day I am breathing
The place I'll always call my home
Even when the rain is falling
A thousand misty eyes, appear at once surprised
As we look behind and see, the ghost of Lambie
But I'll return to Firhill Road
Till the last day I am breathing
The place I'll always call my home
Even when the rain is falling

Fantastic performance tonight. Many thanks for trusting me with the vinyl, and as promised I've downloaded the digital tracks here. I already had the first solo album and summer Phantom Band on MP3 from my iPod days, but it's nice to have them all. Take care and we'll look out for the next record or gig in Edinburgh. davemcguire

Rick Redbeards debut album blew me away. Still does. So any new offering is a must have. I love his voice, lyrical imagery and sense of humour. He keeps me on my toes as a fellow songwriter. A real gem. danielmcdonagh
