No lights on the horizon
No stars in the sky
Am I alone in this world?
Did I leave this Earth behind on the other side of the fog?

That road, that desolate,
Winding road
That stretches to and from
Nowhere.

Lying on the cold wet sand
There is no solace in the solitude -
I look out over the endless grey tumult
And see nothing but loneliness.

Amidst the roaring ocean
And lashing rain
Sleep doesn't come.

A wonderful spot perched high above Applecross and the Isle of Skye - I can picture it again the way you describe it here. As subtle as the mists below the summit.
