Long Way To The Light-The Waterboys

I'm sitting in my bedroom Overlooking Findhorn Bay Cluny Hill ion the distance Summer on the way Blue skies and sailing boats Like a picture in a book I can't believe I got here Or how long it took Living one step at a time Putting one foot in front of the other It sure feels right Healing on my mind Been a long way Been a long way to the light I'd made it to Manhattan Built myself a nest I meant to get right back to doing Exactly what I do best: Pluggin in an electric guitar, Leading a band Well, if you want to give God a laugh - tell him your plans! Summer in the city Wilting in the heat Buzzing up and down to Bearsville And back to Hudson Street I learned meditation And how to visualise - Just breathing, being still Never felt more alive! Living one step at a time... I spent the fall in transit Circling the moon Like a cat on a hot tin roof Like a fiddle without a tune I found what I was searching for In Mrs Caddy's book I had to go there straightaway Have myself a look I flew back to Scotland Anticipation in my bones The old country welcoming me Like a prodigal coming home I knelt and kissed the tarmac In the wild atlantic rain Felt the fiery gaelic blood Rising in my veins Living one step at a time... I spent the night in Glasgow Flew to Inverness I found the Place and at the first I was not impressed Nobody said hello The faces left me cold Back then how was I to know All that would unfold? I entered thje Sanctuary - heard the vioce of a girl Sending out a circle of light Clear across the world I shuddered in the Power Like a seedling in a storm I've been travelling to this place Since the moment i was born Flew back to New York City Singing the big city blues The sand of Findhorn Bay Still clingin to my shoes I tried to re-start my life But the life I knew was gone I had to let go everything But that's another song! Living one step at a time... So I'm sitting in my bedroom Overlooking Findhorn Bay Cluny Hill in the distance Summer on the way I'm watching sailing boats Bobbing to and fro - time to hit the road The only way I know... Living one step at a time...
