Vacationist League: Music
Faith Leads On
(Vacationist League)
John Tilson
This could be a song about a boy who meets a girl
falls in love,and calls her on the phone.
Conversations with her brother, mother, father, sister, other brother--
she’s never home.
Is he a fool to keep calling for you?
Faith leads him on... leads him on
Faith leads him.
This could be a song about a woman, all alone,
growing old in a run-down family home.
Has her meals delivered. Nurse comes by to see her.
Boy next door mows her lawn.
Is she a fool to keep waiting for you?
Faith leads her on... leads her on.
Faith leads her.
This could be the song about the man with a guitar
playing music with and for his friends.
Without conditions, with few ambitions he writes songs; songs make demands.
Is he a fool to keep playing for you?
Faith leads him on... leads him on.
Faith leads him... on.
