Those Who Are Wise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I use to sit in the shade of an old cedar tree and i dream of
The days, what they're holdin' for me.
But all those should know who gaze at the sky. it's for those
Who are wise. it's for those who are wise.
And the west winds would blow. they'd be singing to me. they'd
Say, "look, you, out yonder, just as far as you can
See."
But all those should know who gaze at the sky. it's for those
Who are wise. it's for those who are wise.
And the years went their way as the good years will go. but my
Dreams linger on in the hills of my home.
And young men should know who gaze at the sky. it is you who are
Wise, only you who are wise.
I used to sit in the shade of an old cedar tree.
