Words Of Wisdom

The Strawbs

Compositor: Dave Cousins

The wise man came in deep disguise
All the way from Mexico
We sat in circles on the ground
And listened to his words of wisdom
He spoke of unclimbed mountain ranges
And plains
That stretched beyond the point of no return.

We talked in terms of solitude
And parted with respect
Realising
That the world held a place for us
Somewhere.
