Wise Man Blues Lyrics - 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
