Gordon Lightfoot - Sit down young stranger

I'm st^Gandin' at the doorway, my h^Cead down in my h^Gands Not kn^Cowin' where to s^Git, not knowin' where I st^Dand My f^Gather looms above me, for h^Cim there is no r^Gest My m^Cother's arms enf^Gold me and hold me to her br^Deast "T^Ghey say you've been out wanderin', t^Chey say you've trave^Gled far Sit d^Cown, young str^Ganger and tell us who you ^Dare" The r^Goom has all gone misty, my th^Coughts are all in sp^Gin "^CSit down, youn^Gg stranger ^Dand tell us where ^Gyou been"

"Well, I've been up to the mountain, I^C've walked down by ^Gthe sea I n^Cever questioned n^Go one and no one questioned m^De My l^Gove was given freely and ^Coft-times was ret^Gurned I n^Cever came to b^Gorrow, I only came to l^Dearn Somet^Gimes it did get lonely, but it t^Caught me how to cr^Gy And l^Caughter came to e^Gasy for life to pass me b^Dy I n^Gever had a dollar that I di^Cdn't earn with pr^Gide 'Cause I h^Cad a million d^Gaydreams to keep me s^Datisfied"

"^AAnd will you gather daydreams,^D or will you gath^Aer wealth' How c^Dan you find your f^Aortune if you cannot find yo^Eurself'" My m^Aother's eyes grow misty, there's a tr^Demblin' in her h^Aand "^DSit down, youn^Ag stranger, I do not un^Ederstand And w^Aill you try and tell us that you've b^Deen too long at scho^Aol' That kn^Dowledge is not ne^Aeded, that power does not r^Eule' That w^Aar is not the answer, that y^Doung men should not d^Aie' Sit d^Down young str^Aanger, I wait for your re^Eply"

"^A;The answer is not easy ^Dfor souls are no^At reborn To w^Dear the crown of pe^Aace, you must wear the Crown of Th^Eorns If Je^Asus had a reason, I'm s^Dure he would not t^Aell They tre^Dated him so b^Aadly, how could he wish them w^Eell'"

The p^Aarlor now is empty, there's n^Dothin' left to s^Aay My f^Dather has dep^Aarted, my mother's gone to pr^Eay There's r^Aockets in the meadows and sh^Dips out on the s^Aea The ^Danswer's in the f^Aorest, carved upon a tr^Eee: &q^Duot;John lo^Aves Mary,"^E;...does any^Aone love me'
