lyrics

GUIDE THE GOOD FOLK HOME

There goes the man
With a head full of good thoughts
He keeps a smile for those he meets
He carries love with him
Everywhere he walks
He's got good ground beneath his feet

There goes the man
With no race to run but life
He's making progress every day

There goes the girl
With the flowers in her long blonde hair
She's into cloudy weather songs
She dreams in poetry
And wants to meet him there
She's hoping that it won't take long

There goes the woman
With an eye for all that's good
She's got a kind way with the world
She's making plans for future days

Here's to the lonely ones
In every walk of life
It's not a crime to be so lost
Maybe one day both their paths
Might cross

There go the good folk
Through the countryside
They value everything they dream
It took some time
But every story has a scribe
It's true, that much is plain to see

There's nothing better
Than a soul to save the good
It helps to know you're not alone
They're making plans to call it home

There's a light to guide the good folk home
There's a light to guide you on
There's a light to guide the good folk home
There's a light to guide
Yeah

There's a light to guide the good folk
There's a light to guide the good folk
There's a light to guide the good folk home
Yeah
