Story behind the song
This was one of the first songs Roger Brawn and I tried to record as its open structure lent itself to broader arrangement. It features Rogers lead guitar as well as my fold-up harmonium. The vocals and acoustic analogue guitar had got lost in the overdubbing so I've overlain new versions - quite a task as the original was tuned to the old harmonium - about 3/4 semitone sharp and the tempo was a bit wobbly!
Lyrics
I hear the words that youre saying floating through my head
I see the images playing but I float away instead
What do you do when Im drifting away from the line
Tapping my foot in time as I play with a rhyme
My eyes are focussed upon you what is it that I see
A light that radiates from you a light that touches me
Lighting a distant way opening up the day
Guiding my thoughts so that they can take all that they may
Raindrops fall upon our caravan and windows trickle with the sky
Above it all theres a mystic land refuge for the thoughts that fly
