Folks, I don't know what it is about this glorious song, but I love it and it has been known to bring welling up in my eyes. There's a beautiful wayward flow to this song, and the universe has never seemed so magical. God bless my dear friend John A. Duffin. I sometimes feel God blessed me with him, and I just hope I've been as good for him. ENJOY, Friends. Thanks in advance if you listen and review.~~~Clay Wilson
ME, SUES, NICK DRAKE, SCOTLAND, AND THE UNIVERSE
Lyric & Music/John Anthony Duffin
-----------------------------------------------
(but not necessarily in that order)
I - DRIVING OUR FORD ESCORT
I'm driving our Ford Escort on the winding road to Crieff
The vivid greens distort the car with shady trees in leaf
I'm feeling bruised from bad news that's on the radio
So I put a tape of 'Bryter Layter' on the dodgy stereo and listen in...
II - ARRIVAL AT ST. FILLAN'S CARAVAN PARK
At the park, it's almost dark when we arrive two hours late
Sue's family are anxiously awaiting in a state
But no harm done, the Drummond Arms is there for food and beer
At last, we're chillin' in St. Fillan's now that Summer's here
I'm not sure where we are
And when I look up at the stars...
[Instrumental Section]
III - DISTRACTED BY THE HEAVENS
There are a billion solar systems shining in the night
Unaware of our existence, we're just a faint, dim light
It really is amazing and it always blows my mind
When I'm gazing at the universe, I'm looking back through time
I look at the stars
And think - how little we are
[Instrumental Section]
IV - THE UNIVERSE
I look up at the stars
And think how
little we are
(Amen)
