I use to sit in the shade of an old cedar tree   And I dream of the days, what they're holdin' for me   But all those should know who gaze at the sky   It's for those who are wise, only those who are wise      And the west winds would blow, they'd be singing to me   They'd say, "Look, you, out yonder, just as far as you can see"   But all those should know who gaze at the sky   It's for those who are wise, only those who are wise      And the years went their way as the good years will go   But my dreams linger on in the hills of my home   And young men should know who gaze at the sky   It is you who are wise, only you who are wise      I used to sit in the shade of an old cedar tree
