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...
