The Waterboys - Long Way To The Light lyrics

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...
