Long Way To The Light Lyrics - 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... 

Photos 

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 the Sanctuary 

- heard the voice 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...
