I 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
[Chorus:] Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground Where an old man of Aran 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 he'll never, never fight over you
I got plans for us Nights in the scullery And days instead of me I only know what to discuss Of for anything but light Wise men fighting over you
It's not me you see pieces of valentine With just a song of mine to keep from burning history Seasons of gasoline and gold Wise men fold
[Chorus]
I got time to kill Sly looks in corridors Without a plan of yours A blackbird sings on bluebird hill Thanks to the calling of the wild Wise men’s child
