Текст песни Distant Light — Dr. Dog

The man appeared to me inside that yellow wood.
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 aint 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.
