I'm a little surprised that there are no comments for JJW songs. Okay, so the lyrics are usually pretty obvious..."follow" - a Jerry Merrick penned tune - is a little deeper. I've never heard the Richie Havens version (though I'm going to try to find it) - I think a song about young love - she's young, he's older - he wants her to move on. He wants her to experience life much more broadly - put him in the past, "nothing but a dream". This is a pretty old song, but the line "...church bells and school bells toll their one-note songs" still packs a pretty good punch.
I guess the song resounds for me - been there. Still one of the all-time best JJW songs, can't believe it didn't get more of a reaction than it did - great song by one of my favorite all-time singers.
