Wise Man Blues
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.
Wise is the man sleeps with the breeze
Nothing will ever bring him to his knees
Cold are the nights, long are the days
But no one can ever take love away
And he kept a lock and key on it forever
And he took it out to make sure it was dead
And he held it in his hand
He held it in his hand
And he waited for the dawn for some relief
Calm is the girl, flames in her hair
Keeper of paths, mirth and despair
Cold winter day, warm summer night
That no one will ever bring back to life
And he kept a lock and key on it forever
And he took it out to make sure it was dead
And he held it in his hand
He held it in his hand
And he waited for the dawn for some release
Wise is the man sleeps with the breeze
Wise is the man sleeps with the breeze
