Wise Man Blues

Perry Blake


Wise is the man sleeps with the breeze 
Nothing will ever bring him to his knees 
Cold are the nights, long are the days 
But no one can ever take love away 

And he kept a lock and key on it forever 
And he took it out to make sure it was dead 
And he held it in his hand 
He held it in his hand 
And he waited for the dawn for some relief 

Calm is the girl, flames in her hair 
Keeper of paths, mirth and despair 
Cold winter day, warm summer night 
That no one will ever bring back to life 

And he kept a lock and key on it forever 
And he took it out to make sure it was dead 
And he held it in his hand 
He held it in his hand 
And he waited for the dawn for some release 

Wise is the man sleeps with the breeze 
Wise is the man sleeps with the breeze
