Long Way To The Light |
| 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… |
