I've got two strong arms, blessings of Babylon
with time to carry on and try for sins and false alarms
So to America the brave
wise men save
Near a tree by a river is a hole in the ground,
where an old man of ?arran? goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night,
for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But I'll never ever fight over you
I've got plans for us, nights in the scullery
and days instead of me, I only know what to discuss,
oh, for anything but light
wise men fighting over you
It's not me you see,
seasons of gasoline and gold
wise men fold
Near a tree by a river is a hole in the ground,
where an old man of aron goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night,
for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But I'll never ever fight over you
I've got time to kill, sly looks in corridors without a
plan of yours,
blackbird sings on Bluebirdhill
thanks for the calling of the wild
wise men's child
