Heading for the Light

Soundtrack; Travelling Wilburys, "Heading for the Light"

There was a remarkable light this evening when we went out past Gresham and homeward by way of Thurgarton Church and Hanworth. The sun was obscured for a while behind a bank of thick dark cumulus but every now and then would break through, radiating its light dramatically as if a revelation were about to occur - and we half expected a deep booming voice to erupt from the heavens and make some authoritative proclamation. 
However apart from the evening song of the skylarks, all we could hear was the wind blowing through the wheat fields...


I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
And at times it was so blue and lonely
Heading for the light

Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And I couldn't see the sign that warned me, I'm
Heading for the light

Ooh - I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me
And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned
I didn't know the mess I was in

My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm
Heading for the light

Ooh - my hands were tired
Jokers and fools on either side
But still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in

My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm
Heading for the light

I see the sun ahead, I aint never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as I think of you
Now theres nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light

Now theres nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
