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]
