These plates, called “Friendly Village” (which I don’t own) were the inspiration for this song. There is something so romantic about plates, especially when they contain pictures framed in brown designs. The color brown itself is so dreamy. It represents that ideal you are always reaching for but can never find…. security, home.
His hands upon me I was spun around.
Tripping over my feet through the softly fading town
Brother no… nobody leads the way
Brother no… nobody leads the way
He turns towords me when the evening shines
His hands upon my head I’ll wait until my time
Brother no….. nobody leads the way
Brother no….. nobody leads the way
First it seems to be a no go
Then he tells you things will fade away
All the while the winds begin to blow
And so you stumble on the way
I know nothing’s gonna make up your mind now love
This is just a matter of fact
I try putting all my thoughts in a line although
This will never bring him back.
His arm around my neck I start to smile
We’ll watch the clouds pass by just for a little while
Brother oh…… I’ll let you lead the way
Brother oh…. I’ll let you lead the way
First it seems to be a rainbow
Then he tells me it’s a cloud of gray
All the while the fog begins to grow so you will
Wander through the day
I know nothing’s gonna make up your mind now love
This is just a matter of fact
I try putting all my thoughts in a line although
This will never bring him back.
He holds me up against the wall til I can fly
Scenes of peaceful villages fade in & out of mind
Brother no… I’ll let you lead the way
Brother no… I’ll let you lead the way.
First he tells you its a no no
Then he tells me I must seize the day
All the while the clouds begin to grow
And they grow colder on the way
I know nothing’s gonna make up your mind now love.
This is just a matter of fact.
I try putting all my thoughts in a line although
This will never bring him back.
