Bruce Miller: Fairy Tales On The Highway (1975)

As you may have surmised by now, I am in the middle of reading “Ego and Archetype” by Edward F. Edinger. I already knew a great deal about the subject matter, having studied it years ago, but the benefit of hindsight shows me that my earlier appreciation was from the point-of-view of someone who hadn’t had enough experience. So, growing older does have its good points.

About a week before my son lent me this book, I’d had a song running through my head, on constant replay, like an earworm, but without the annoyance. The song was this one:

Fairy Tales On The Highway

.

Fairy tales out on the highway

Lonesome blue over my shoulder

Like a ship in the harbour

I’ve been waiting for my cargo

Like a thief in the night

I’ve been oh, so hungry

But Lord, you’ve gotta help me

Find that Golden Road

Lord, you’ve gotta help me

I can’t make it on my own.

.

See my love, there in the Garden

She has diamonds in her eyes

Like Noah’s Ark in the thunder

She will keep me from going under

Like a leaf in the wind

I’ve been falling in

But Lord, you’ve gotta help me

Find that Golden Road

Lord, you’ve gotta help me

I can’t make it on my own.

.

(If you’d like to hear the song, here’s the whole album “Rude Awakening”:)

Fairy Tales On The Highway starts at 26:15.
