name that tune

As close to them as possible, IMHO

Here's all the lyrics, and i'd be very surprised if anyone can get this, one of my fav all time groups, never got the credit they deserved.

There's a light, covers up my doorway Flickering light, never run away And I might, I might be going your way Say who might, might help me on my way Mmm, what a sight, sight to burn the ego Keep you warm and never let go.
And the light coming my way, Compared to what others have seen Napoleon the strong he once had it As a sound that was loud in his dream.
And I stand, locked before the four ways Wind and snow, heaven and I belong wherever men like that stay I can feel it burning in my eyes.
And the light coming my way Compared to what others have seen Napoleon the strong he once had it As a sound that was loud in his dream.
Heavens child, it's driving me wild, Honey I know that it's right Well, I got this message that makes me feel good Carries me out through the night Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me!.
Well, I move through life like a hurricane lamp Lighting the road as I go Spreading this music, injecting the light Please let it stay, never go Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me!.
And I think of napoleon and others before Parallels seem to exist I follow it, follow it, keep it in sight Napoleon would never have missed Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me!
 
At least 3 versions, I prefer the “rock” version. Both American, Canadian and English artists…

“Daddy, Daddy, come and look
See what I've found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground…”

It’s a Judy Collins (Canada) song, later done by Harry Belafonte (USA), and my preferred version still later by Uriah Heep (England). “Come Away, Melinda”

if you decide to listen, listen
to the Heep version.
