Текст песни Sit Down Young Stranger - Gordon Lightfoot
I'm
standin'
at
the
doorway
My
head
bowed
in
my
hands
Not
knowin'
where
to
sit
Not
knowin'
where
to
stand
My
father
looms
above
me
For
him
there
is
no
rest
My
mother's
arms
enfold
me
And
hold
me
to
her
breast
They
say
you've
been
out
wandrin'
They
say
you've
travelled
far
Sit
down
young
stranger
And
tell
us
who
you
are
The
room
has
all
gone
misty
My
thoughts
are
all
in
spin
Sit
down
young
stranger
And
tell
us
where
you
been
Well,
I've
been
up
to
the
mountain,
I've
walked
down
by
the
sea
I
never
questioned
no
one
And
no
one
questioned
me
My
love
was
given
freely
And
oftimes
was
returned
I
never
came
to
borrow
I
only
came
to
learn
Sometimes
it
did
get
lonely
But
it
taught
me
how
to
cry
And
laughter
came
too
easy
For
life
to
pass
me
by
I
never
had
a
dollar
That
I
didn't
earn
with
pride
'Cause
I
had
a
million
daydreams
to
keep
me
satisfied
And
will
you
gather
daydreams?
Or
will
you
gather
wealth?
How
can
you
find
your
fortune?
When
you
cannot
find
yourself?
My
mother's
eyes
grow
misty
There's
a
tremblin'
in
her
hand
Sit
down
young
stranger,I
do
not
understand.
And
will
you
try
and
tell
us
You
been
too
long
at
school?
That
knowledge
is
not
needed
That
power
does
not
rule?
That
war
is
not
the
answer
That
young
men
should
not
die
Sit
down
young
stranger
I
wait
for
your
reply
The
answer
is
not
easy
For
souls
are
not
reborn
To
wear
the
crown
of
peace
You
must
wear
the
crown
of
thorns
If
Jesus
had
a
reason
I'm
sure
he
would
not
tell
They
treated
him
so
badly
How
could
he
wish
them
well?
The
parlor
now
is
empty
There's
nothin'
left
to
say
My
father
has
departed
My
mother's
gone
to
pray
There's
rockets
in
the
meadows
And
ships
out
on
the
sea
The
answer's
in
the
forest
carved
upon
a
tree
John
loves
Mary,does
anyone
love
me?
