Sit Down Young Stranger

Sit Down Young Stranger - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]

Written by:Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:02]

I'm standin' in the doorway[00:00:05]

My head bowed in my hands[00:00:07]

Not knowin' where to sit[00:00:10]

Not knowin' where I stand[00:00:12]

My father looms above me[00:00:16]

For him there is no rest[00:00:18]

My mother's arms enfold me[00:00:21]

And hold me to her breast[00:00:23]

They say you been out wandrin'[00:00:27]

They say you travelled far[00:00:29]

Sit down young stranger[00:00:32]

And tell us who you are[00:00:34]

The room has all gone misty[00:00:38]

My thoughts are all in spin[00:00:40]

Sit down young stranger[00:00:43]

And tell us where you been[00:00:45]

I've been up to the mountain[00:00:49]

I've walked down by the sea[00:00:51]

I never questioned no one[00:00:54]

And no one questioned me[00:00:56]

My love was given freely[00:01:00]

And oftimes was returned[00:01:02]

I never came to borrow[00:01:05]

I only came to learn[00:01:07]

Sometimes it didn't get lonely[00:01:11]

But it taught me how to cry[00:01:13]

And laughter came too easy[00:01:16]

For life to pass me by[00:01:18]

I never had a dollar[00:01:22]

That I didn't earn with pride[00:01:24]

Cause I had a million daydreams[00:01:27]

To keep me satisfied[00:01:29]

And will you gather daydreams[00:01:44]

Or will you gather wealth[00:01:47]

How can you find your fortune[00:01:49]

When you cannot find yourself[00:01:51]

My mother's eyes grow misty[00:01:55]

There's a tremblin' in her hand[00:01:58]

Sit down young stranger[00:02:00]

I do not understand[00:02:02]

Now will you try to tell us[00:02:06]

You been too long at school[00:02:09]

That knowledge is not needed[00:02:11]

That power does not rule[00:02:14]

That war is not the answer[00:02:17]

That young men should not die[00:02:20]

Sit down young stranger[00:02:22]

I wait for your reply[00:02:24]

The answer is not easy[00:02:28]

For souls are not reborn[00:02:31]

To wear the crown of peace[00:02:33]

You must wear the crown of thorns[00:02:35]

If jesus had a reason[00:02:40]

I'm sure he would not tell[00:02:42]

We treated him so badly[00:02:44]

How could he wish us well[00:02:47]

The parlor now is empty[00:02:51]

There's nothin' left to say[00:02:53]

My father has departed[00:02:56]

My mother's gone to pray[00:02:58]

There's rockets in the meadows[00:03:02]

And ships out on the sea[00:03:04]

The answer's in the forest[00:03:07]

Carved upon a tree[00:03:09]

John loves mary[00:03:13]

Does anyone love me[00:03:15]
