Текст песни Long Way To The Light (Mike Scott) с переводом

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…
