Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
The man appeared to me inside that yellow wood
I'd carved his name in the dirt in 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?
[Verse 3]
Follow the distant light
Oh, you know I will
Follow the distant light
Yeah, just a little bit over the  hill
Follow the distant light
And although you'll never near it
You can travel on forever, but you'll never be back here
I said, "Alright"
[Verse 4]
(Yeah, distant light)
[Verse 5]
The stranger appeared to me, he hopped down from  his tree
He 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"
[Verse 6]
Give me the distant light
Oh no, I cannot do it
Give me the distant light
"Yeah", he said through his teeth
Give me the distant light
You know, I ain't quite yet through with it
As I saw it shining dimly through the branches of his tree
I walked on
[Verse 7]
(Yeah, distant light)
[Verse 8]
Following the distant light
Like the way some people look for parking
Following the distant light
Yeah, and tripping all over my feet
Following the distant light
But I know if I keep walking, I'll never touch it
But as long as I move it'll shine down on me
Shine down on me
[Verse 9]
(Yeah, distant light)
(Yeah, distant light)
(Yeah, distant light)
(Yeah, distant light)
