elusive pop song

[cruciaddict]

I realise that this is very vague, but I am trying to identify a song released about 15 or so years ago, I think around Christmas. I thought it was by the Waterboys, but cannot find it among their albums. It does, I am sure have a slightly religious theme, (maybe something about the three kings), very haunting and perhaps sounds a bit like Crowded House. I cannot remember the title, melody or the band, but I hope this might strike a chord with someone out there! I would know it if I heard it again!! Help please!!!

Sorry, no. I know the Frankie Goes to Hollywood song.
This one was not such a great hit. But thanks anyway.

I think you are correct with The Waterboys. Is it their 1993 single Glastonbury Song?

GLASTONBURY SONG

I dreamed myself from the sultry plains
to the old green square back in old Maybole
Rode the wind up to Stornaway,
paused at the peak, pacified my soul
Caught the bus in the faery fort,
made it to the mansion on the Boyne
See, I've come around to the ancient ways
I took a tip from the buddha boy

I just found God
I just found God
I just found God where He always was

We came down from the hill of dreams
Bernadette, mother earth and you and me
Through Carraroe, down the wildwood side,
blinding our eyes in the shallow seas
Drank fire with the king of the blues,
plugged in to the medicine way,
took a long last look at Crazy Horse
Push now for a golden age

I just found God
I just found God
I just found God where He always was

Found myself on the roof of the world
just-a-waitin for to get my wings
Strange angel in the changing light
said Brother you forgot one thing
My heart beat from the inside out
So lucky just to be alive !
Can you tell what I'm talking about ?
Any day now the sun's gonna rise...

I just found God
I just found God
I just found God where He always was
I just found God where He always was

Thank you garybfsl. I have just heard The Glastonbury Song on the internet. Sorry, but it isn't the one. Maybe it was more like 20 years ago.

Chris de burgh "A spaceman came travelling?". Good song- sounds nothing like his "lady in red" stuff.

Or was it something by the Christians?

I know the Spaceman song and I have been trawling through early 80's pop charts. I wondered about the Christians and have listenend to a couple on You Tube but no luck so far. I did find a band called The Ward Brothers (easily mistaken for Waterboys) who recorded a song 'Cross that Bridge' but I cannot hear it on the internet, so I am not sure if it is the one. Thank you all for your time.
