I remember playing the PlayStation and listening to this concert on RU-vid for the first time. When this song came on it stopped me dead in my tracks, I was single and at that point in my life was really just drifting through life. But I still connected with this song, I think it was emotion and passion Foy’s voice. I met a girl. We went and seen Foy live in a small venue in Glasgow. We got married in that very venue and our first dance could only ever be one song, this song. She’s my guiding light.
This one goes out to my aunt. She is the literal embodiment of what a guiding light is. I don't know where I'd be without her. She took me in when my mother left, I was 2 then, and cared for me ever since. It's been a long & winding road and she has been holding my hand in hers and steering me in the right direction. I think I'll go and give her a hug now. Bye.
I just discovered this song a night after I lost my lovely kind father- who I miss him every seconds- So I only say, he was my guiding light.... Thank you for this beautiful song..
Well the road is wide And waters run on either side And my shadow went with fading light Stretching out towards the night 'Cause the sun is low And I yet have still so far to go My lonely heart is beating so Tired of the wonder There's a sign ahead Though I think it's the same one again But I'm thinking 'bout my only friend And so I find my way home 'Cause when I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light Oh, well the air is cold And yonder lies my sleeping soul By the branches broke like bones Well, this weakened tree no longer holds Well, the night is still And I have not yet lost my will Oh and I will keep on moving 'till 'Till I find my way home When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light So lead me on, and leave me strong Like the road I walk on When I need to get home You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When I need to get home You're my guiding light
