about

A cloud, over a bridge over a stream in Snowdonia and I was in total Peter Gabriel - without having heard any Peter Gabriel at the time.

lyrics

Take the message home, tell them that I can’t come back yet
Take the message home, say I’m walking on my way.
Obstacles I’ve found, and people that I’ve met
Are all trying their best to persuade me to stay.
And soaring high above there’s an eagle in motion
Soaring high above like a soul alone
I should trust in love like the tides of the ocean
To carry me safe back home.

Take the message home – there are lessons I’m learning
Take the message home – I’m finding some to teach
The road travels on like a spiral keeps turning
I can see the gate but it’s not yet in reach.
And soaring high above there’s an eagle in motion
Soaring high above like a soul alone
I should trust in love like the tides of the ocean
To carry me safe back home.

Take the message home – I’m homesick and dreaming
Take the message home – I still can’t turn round
The thread guides my path like a cloth that we’re weaving
I’ll follow it through till I stand on home ground.
And soaring high above there’s my soul in motion
Soaring high above like an eagle on the wing
I should flow with love like the tides of the ocean
And peace is the song I sing.
