Waterboys - Long Way To The Light Lyrics
Im sitting in my bedroomOverlooking findhorn bayCluny hill ion the distanceSummer on the wayBlue skies and sailing boatsLike a picture in a bookI cant believe I got hereOr how long it tookLiving one step at a timePutting one foot in front of the otherIt sure feels rightHealing on my mindBeen a long wayBeen a long way to the lightId made it to manhattanBuilt myself a nestI meant to get right back to doingExactly what I do best:Pluggin in an electric guitar,Leading a bandWell, if you want to give God a laugh- tell him your plans!Summer in the cityWilting in the heatBuzzing up and down to bearsvilleAnd back to hudson streetI learned meditationAnd how to visualise -Just breathing, being stillNever felt more alive!Living one step at a time...I spent the fall in transitCircling the moonLike a cat on a hot tin roofLike a fiddle without a tuneI found what I was searching forIn mrs caddys bookI had to go there straightawayHave myself a lookI flew back to scotlandAnticipation in my bonesThe old country welcoming meLike a prodigal coming homeI knelt and kissed the tarmacIn the wild atlantic rainFelt the fiery gaelic bloodRising in my veinsLiving one step at a time...I spent the night in glasgowFlew to invernessI found the place and at the firstI was not impressedNobody said helloThe faces left me coldBack then how was I to knowAll that would unfold?I entered thje sanctuary- heard the vioce of a girlSending out a circle of lightClear across the worldI shuddered in the powerLike a seedling in a stormIve been travelling to this placeSince the moment I was bornFlew back to new york citySinging the big city bluesThe sand of findhorn bayStill clingin to my shoesI tried to re-start my lifeBut the life I knew was goneI had to let go everythingBut thats another song!Living one step at a time...So Im sitting in my bedroomOverlooking findhorn bayCluny hill in the distanceSummer on the wayIm watching sailing boatsBobbing to and fro- time to hit the roadThe only way I know...Living one step at a time...
