I can still remember youWell, it taught me of life and taught it so wellYou spoke of beggars and kingsBut said the best of all thingsBe wise for wisdom, sense and faithLessons kept away with timeThese wishes died in the soul of a childWho only wanted to seeSo like a bird on a wingI flew the wingsTo see youI flew the wings to see youSet myself freeSeasoned now by trials of timeSofter to thoughts and mellow like wineYet somehow feeling aloneTook the journey on homeTo see my Merlin back once moreOh, oh, ohOh, oh, ohI heard no wordsHeard me no tearsI saw no lifeSo ashen, so paleI saw my eyes growing ***For it was only in meThat I saw hopeThat destiny stoleFrom my heart's doorI can still remember youWell, it taught me of lifeAnd taught it so wellYou spoke of beggars and kingsBut said the best of all thingsYou spoke of beggars and kingsYou spoke of God's mercyYou spoke of life and all my voltaAnd I found we were silencedAnd batteredIt's not what God would have us wearI knew, it was what God would wearSo at one pointAnd skillBe wise for wisdom says the manBe wise for wisdom says the man
