"Till I Gain Control Again"

"Till I Gain Control Again"
Added to ‘Soundtrack Weekend’ www.ipernity.com/group/362993

“Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
Landmark the sailor's journeys end
No matter what sea I've have been sailing on
I'll always roll this way again”

“Les Hanoi Lighthouse rises from a reef on the south west side of the Island of Guernsey, and takes its name from the group of rocks - Les Hanois. The lighthouse marks the western end of the Channel Islands indicating the shoals and reefs to the west of Guernsey and providing a position fix for vessels entering the Channel Traffic Separation Scheme.” (From the Trinity House website)

“Till I Gain Control Again” was written by Rodney Crowell and is one of my all-time fave songs.

Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time
Like sunlight dancing on your skin
I've never gone so wrong as to telling lies to you
What you've seen is what I've been
There is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Till I can gain control again

Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
Landmark the sailor's journeys end
No matter what sea I've have been sailing on
I'll always roll this way again
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Till I can gain control again

I am familiar with Rodney’s original and versions by Emmylou Harris, Albert Lee, Waylon Jennings, Crystal Gayle, Van Morrison and Raul Malo but I was not familiar with this version by the Haley Sisters and I am now searching for their album :-)

In my humble opinion songs don’t come much better than this :-)
