about

From the album So Long Ago The Garden (CD versions), but faded out early, making it lyrically different

lyrics

When I was up in Canada
I didn't have much money
You know my toes were cold
And my clothes had holes
My nose was kind of runny

I met a long-hair on the street
He said look you look like you'd like to eat
I said a glass of coke and a hotdog's fine
He said well how 'bout some bread and a glass of wine

I said lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing

He took a loaf of Wonder bread
Then he bowed his head
Then he filled my cup drink it up my friend
It tasted better than the health food blend
He looked straight in to my eyes
I was quite surprised
He said you're locked inside but I can set you free
You will live forever if you follow me

I said lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going wo-oh
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing wo-oh

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going oh
I said my body's tired and my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing

Ah when I was up in Canada
I didn't have much money
You know my toes were cold
And my clothes had holes
And my nose was kinda runny
It wasn't funny

I met a long-hair on the street
He said look you look like you'd like to eat
I said a glass of coke and a hotdog's fine
He said well how 'bout some bread and a glass of wine

I said lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going wo-oh
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing wo-oh

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going wo-oh
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing

I said break
Lead me on

Ah lead me on, lead me on, lead me on (Ah ha)
Lead me on where you're going wo-oh (Ah ha)
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired (Ah ha)
My hunger's growing, was it showing (Ah ha)

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on (Ah ha)
Lead me on where you're going wo-oh (Ah ha)
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired (Ah ha)
My hunger's growing (Ah ha)
Hope it don't start snowing

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on (Ah ha)
Lead me on where you're going wo-oh (Ah ha)
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired (Ah ha)
My hunger's growing (Ah ha)
Wo-oh-oh
