[Verse 1]
We told our tales as we sat under
Morning sleepy sky
With all the colors of
The sunrise shining in our eyes
One then another
With a story of yesterday's life
Or of a lover who had
Gone in a moment of strife
[Verse 2]
No thought of sleep ever dwells
Upon the wise man's mind
Some task or audience
Stealing every moment of his time
Thus we have learned to live
While mortal men
Stand waiting to die
How can we do what must be done
In just one short life
[Bridge]
And if you ask
Then you must know
If you still doubt
You should be told
It was not we
That made it so
It was by those
Who went before
We told our tales as we sat under
Morning sleepy sky
With all the colors of
The sunrise shining in our eyes
One then another
With a story of yesterday's life
Or of a lover who had
Gone in a moment of strife
[Verse 2]
No thought of sleep ever dwells
Upon the wise man's mind
Some task or audience
Stealing every moment of his time
Thus we have learned to live
While mortal men
Stand waiting to die
How can we do what must be done
In just one short life
[Bridge]
And if you ask
Then you must know
If you still doubt
You should be told
It was not we
That made it so
It was by those
Who went before
