Dr. Dog lyrics : "Distant Light"
I'd carved his name in the dirt, at the crossroads where we stood.
He said, ?Are you looking for directions??
I said, ?Gee, I wish you would. Which way to the infinite road that unwinds from within.?
He said, ?Follow the distant light?
Oh' you know I will! Follow the distant light, just a little bit over the hill
Follow the distant light and although you'll never near it.
You can travel on forever and you'll never be back here.
I said, ?alright?
The stranger appeared to me, he hopped down from his tree.
I said, ?I can give you anything, but you know that nothing's free.?
Well I could take it or leave it. I said, ?well what do you want from me.?
He said, ?nothing much really, just a small token of appreciation
That would mean so little to man like you and so much to a man like me.?
Gimme the distant light.
Oh no I cannot do it
Gimme the distant light, he said through his teeth
Gimme the distant light
I said, ?I ain't quite yet through with it?
As I saw it shining dimly through the branches of his tree, I walked on
Following the distant light.
Like the way some people look for parking
Following the distant light, and tripping all over my feet
But following the distant light
And I know if I keep walking, I'll never touch it,
But as long as I move it'll shine down on me.
