THE OLD MAN IN THE WOODS

On a cold November day
In my pocket six months pay
The old man in the woods I went to find
Comin' down from Lake Bakahr
Seeking wisdom from afar
Enlighten me if you can spare the time

Sit a while my friend
Sit a while with me an hour spend
Sit a while my new young friend

And the sun was going down
Flinging shadows 'cross the ground
And a fire warmed his home beneath the trees
Sit and listen if you will
And my wisdom I'll distill
But first good sir, the money if you please

Sit a while my friend
Sit a while with me an hour spend
Sit a while my new young friend

Sit a while and you'll learn:
In the heart of everyone a fierce desire burns
To see the way through the haze
And so the truth discern
And if you steer a man away from the trail of self deception
Surely he'll give the world to you
And cast away all preconception

Never saw the old man again
Nor the gold that left my hand
Nor the woods where the interstate now goes through
And it's long since dawned on me
A wise man's philosophy
Is not worth the ancient teeth it flows through
