Heading for the Light Songtext

von Travelling Wilburys

I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands

I was lost in the night with no sign 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 sun that warmed me - heading for the light.

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
'cause I'm heading for the light.

Ooh
My hands were tied
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
'cause I'm heading for the light.

I see the sun ahead
I ain't never looking back

All the dreams are coming true as I think of you

Now there's nothing in the way to stop me heading for the light

Now there's nothing in the way to stop me heading for the light.
