Charles,

You probably got the "Lovin' Sound" record by now. I will take a stab at the lyrics. A thorought search of my notebooks did not turn up the copy that I know is there. I have been doing the song for (pun alert!) ians, but not recently so I will try to remember it. "Pilgramage" was written by their guitar player at the time, David Rea. Interestingly it was not included in the "Lovin' Sound" songbook, although the lyrics to a Bob Dylan song were in the book.

PILGRAMAGE TO PARADISE by David Rea

While walking slowly down that lonesome street one day
The dust did bite my eyes and I could not see my way
My destination faintly gleaming far beyond my weary eyes
I continued on my pilgramge to paradise.

I continued on my journey to the place I'd never been
With no assurance it would be there, save a glimmer in the night
That flashed an flitted fitfully far beyond my waking dream
I continued on my pilgramage to paradise.

I met travellers along the way who could no longer stand
I offered them refreshments and stretched out a willing hand
Not that they would not or they could not, they just did not understand
How painful was my pilgramge to paradise.

Now my own feet they are bleeding and my tongue is parched and dry
I called to a fellow traveler but he did not heed my cry
Did I run to far ahead or did I lag too far behind
Upon my painful pilgramge to paradise.

Some people speak of pastures where the milk and honey flows
I have no such illusions of the place I want to go
But with bleeding blisters on my feet and no friendly shade in sight
I continued on my pilgramge to paradise
