Fairport Convention - "Wizard Of The Worldly Game" lyrics
*** Complimentary Wizard Of The Worldly Game Ringtone ***
For seven years I've stood right here
And the flowers 'don't be' by day
All for the yarns that I was told
I spread my arms when they grew cold
The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots
And warded off the rain
Give it time and it will surely rise again
The grass that is trodden underfoot
I'm rocked by winds and am soaked by rains
And I bow and sometimes bend
Until I fall and crush the forms
And the flowers 'don't be' by day
All for the yarns that I was told
I spread my arms when they grew cold
The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots
And warded off the rain
Give it time and it will surely rise again
The grass that is trodden underfoot
I'm rocked by winds and am soaked by rains
And I bow and sometimes bend
Until I fall and crush the forms
And will surely rise again
The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots
Of a few small friends who stood through storms
Give it time and it will surely rise again
The grass that is trodden underfoot
It's . . . dust, the Derby's just
'Wild to wind' and wise to pain
We do . . . done
Treason into trust
Wizard of the worldly game
The grass that is trodden underfoot
The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots
Give it time and it will surely rise again
The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots
Of a few small friends who stood through storms
Give it time and it will surely rise again
The grass that is trodden underfoot
It's . . . dust, the Derby's just
'Wild to wind' and wise to pain
We do . . . done
Treason into trust
Wizard of the worldly game
The grass that is trodden underfoot
The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots
Give it time and it will surely rise again
