Isn't It So (stephen Stills) Lyrics - Stills Stephen

--------------------------- 

Love is a secret 

That everyone knows 

Love is a chime that rings 

When the wind blows 

Keep yourself honest 

So it can grow 

'Cause when you've lost it 

Your heart turns cold 

Isn't it so? 

I remember the first girl 

That I really loved 

However it hurt her 

She loved me enough 

I wanted to wander 

She knew I would go 

She shed a tear knowin' 

That I'd be alone 

Wasn't it so? 

Painfully I was most aware how 

Very unfair it was 

Leavin' her suddenly just like that 

Goin' God knows where I was 

Chasing a rainbow 

She understood 

She was a prophet 

She told me I should 

Follow my heart 

Like I'd been told 

Seek out your vision 

Before you get old 

Isn't it so? 

Now many years later 

I finally see 

How much she did love me 

She set me free 

Her last few dollars 

Put gas in my car 

She said "Promise to write me 

Wherever you are" 

From out on the highway 

I think I wrote twice 

I always remembered 

Her simple advice 

Love is a secret 

That everyone knows 

Try too hard to hide it 

It never will show 

Isn't it so 

How did she know?
