The man appeared to me inside that yellow wood.
Iâd carved his name in the dirt, at the crossroads where we stood.
He said, âAre you looking for directions?â
I said, âGee, I wish you would. Which way to the infinite road that unwinds from within.â
He said, âFollow the distant lightâ
Ohâ you know I will! Follow the distant light, just a little bit over the hill
Follow the distant light and although youâll never near it.
You can travel on forever and youâll never be back here.
I said, âalrightâ
The stranger appeared to me, he hopped down from his tree.
I said, âI can give you anything, but you know that nothingâs free.â
Well I could take it or leave it. I said, âwell what do you want from me.â
He said, ânothing 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.â
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, âI aint quite yet through with itâ
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, Iâll never touch it, but as long as I move itâll shine down on me.
