Gordon Lightfoot - Sit Down Young Stranger Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Im standin in the doorway
  • My head bowed in my hands
  • Not knowin where to sit
  • Not knowin where to stand
  • My father looms above me
  • For him there is no rest
  • My mothers arms enfold me
  • And hold me to her breast
  • They say you been out wandrin
  • They say you travelled far
  • Sit down young stranger
  • And tell us who you are
  • The room has all gone misty,
  • My thoughts are all in spin
  • Sit down young stranger
  • And tell us where you been
  • Ive been up to the mountain
  • Ive walked down by the sea
  • I never questioned no one
  • And no one questioned me
  • My love was given freely
  • And oftimes was returned
  • I never came to borrow
  • I only came to learn
  • Sometimes it would get lonely
  • But it taught me how to cry
  • And laughter came too easy
  • For life to pass me by
  • I never had a dollar
  • That I didnt earn with pride
  • Cause I had a million daydreams
  • To keep me satisfied
  • And will you gather daydreams
  • Or will you gather wealth
  • How can you find your fortune
  • When you cannot find yourself
  • My mothers eyes grow misty
  • Theres a tremblin in her hand
  • Sit down young stranger
  • I do not understand
  • Now will you try to tell us
  • You been too long at school
  • That knowledge is not needed
  • That power does not rule
  • That war is not the answer
  • That young men should not die
  • Sit down young stranger
  • I wait for your reply
  • The answer is not easy
  • For souls are not reborn
  • To wear the crown of peace
  • You must wear the crown of thorns
  • If jesus had a reason
  • Im sure he would not tell
  • We treated him so badly
  • How could he wish us well
  • The parlor now is empty
  • Theres nothin left to say
  • My father has departed
  • My mothers gone to pray
  • Theres rockets in the meadows
  • And ships out on the sea
  • The answers in the forest
  • Carved upon a tree
  • John loves mary
  • Does anyone love me
