Dr. Dog - Distant Light Lyrics
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.”
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
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.

Dr. Dog Distant Light Comments
Is that a vibraslap in the background?
They are just an amazing band. Love all their songs! Carinho to you all, always,, CHB
Lol. Dr. Dog is a fucking legend. I'm glad they don't try and get big and POP. They stay so true to themselves and let the realest people find them.
this proves there is still hope in today's society
this was used in a skate video that was made by some dudes from a local skatepark and everytime i hear this tune i see them shredding in my mind! Great song!
Great song, great video! Love it!
Ohhh I love this
Video is interesting enough although the song isn't very original. It seems to borrow a lot from the Beatles, a lot from Dylan, not that most bands don't borrow from somebody else, but I think I'd rather listen to the bands that created the sound.
Doesn't mean that it's bad.
But why? All art is inspired by someone else. Dr. Dog is very influenced by The Beatles, and others, yes, but they do still have their own sound and very unique vibe...so why is being influenced by the original greats a bad thing? Dr. Dog is a HELL of a lot better than 95% of music being made today. Don't stay back in da past, man. Appreciate the beauty being made now.
Nick Hernandez oh fuck off and listen to Nikki Minaj then
How the hell does music this good only have 27k listens/likes ? WTF is wrong with people?? This is awesome.
