A walking-soul searching song, `cause the grass is always greener just over the hill!

Written by Paul Coates.

Leading Light

Moonlight flickers through the galvanised fences
White ice shimmers in the ditches and the trenches
Frozen river that flowed…
Winding me out through this town, out to the cold
Past the bridges and the railway junction
Body`s so freezin`, getting` hard to function, on a
January night, and I`m out walkin` this road.

I can see that North Star shining
Pointing me to where I`m finding`
Peace of mind, and a lot of good will…
Leads me on with a bright connection
Plots my line in the right direction
`Cause heaven is, only over the hill…

Footsteps crunchin` on a snowflake dusting
Steel lines bleeding blood red from rusting
Street lights now that fade…
Into the dreams of the night, with mistakes that I`ve made
Feelin` lighter with my head now liftin`
Like the snow I`m gonna keep on driftin`, it`s a
January night, and I`m out walkin` this road.

Old Polaris gonna shine on me
Guiding me where I`m meant to be
Keeps me goin`, keeps me searchin` until
I can find the grass that’s greener
Redefine my own redeemer
`Cause paradise, is only over the hill…
Music x 1 (as Verse)

White pine poises in the breeze embrace me
Night time noises through the trees now chase me
Up this mountain track…
Leavin` all memory behind, and not looking back
Feelin` lighter with my head now liftin`
Like the snow I`m gonna keep on driftin`, it`s a
January night, and I`m out walkin` this road.

I can hear that Pole Star callin`
Lifts me up, keeps me from fallin`
Into the past, where desires stand still
Pushing forth I`m gonna keep on moving
Rushing north I gotta keep on proving
The garden is, only over the hill…

I can see that North Star shining
Pointing me to where I`m finding`
Peace of mind, and a lot of good will…
Leads me on with a bright connection
Plots my line in the right direction
`Cause heaven is, only over the hill…

Yea heaven is, only over the hill…
