about

I wrote this song to accompany what was originally the fourth story in my "There are Fairies in the Gutter" set. I don't use the story anymore but the song is about the dark night of the soul and who lights your way through it - Mrs Nellie Ashton.

lyrics

Somebody show me the right way to go.
God only knows this is tough.
Trying to be the best I can become
And wondering if that’s ever guna be good enough.
Money dun’t thrill me and fame leave me cold now,
All the stuff proves a quick fix.
Religion confounds me. Society wound me up
And love, Oh, I’m tired of its tricks.

But just when I’m feeling I may as well quit,
Cut off the call of my soul.
You come through like candle light, light up my darkest night
And you give me a glimpse of being whole.

Somebody take the strain off my weary shoulders,
God only knows how I’ve hurt.
I’ve pushed it and broken, heard such lies spoken,
I’ve lain there alone, face down in the dirt.
Old friends have moved on now,
The best ones have gone now.
I’m cautious of all that is new.
So what I hold on to is all belong to,
It’s a vision, Oooo, a sweet vision of you (Chorus).
