The Waterboys
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!
