Those Who Are Wise

(album: Sunny Side! - 1963)

I use to sit in the shade of an old cedar tree
And I dream of the days, what they're holding for me
But all those should know who gaze at the sky
It's for those who are wise. It's for those who are wise

And the west winds would blow. They'd be singing to me
They'd say, "Look, you, out yonder, just as far as you can see"
But all those should know who gaze at the sky
It's for those who are wise. It's for those who are wise

And the years went their way as the good years will go
But my dreams linger on in the hills of my home
And young men should know who gaze at the sky
It is you who are wise, only you who are wise

I used to sit in the shade of an old cedar tree
