capo 2nd
           
I sailed a wild, wild sea
             
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
        
I met a old, old man
          
beneath a weeping willow tree
            
He said now if you got some questions
       
go and lay them at my feet
       
but my time here is brief
          
so you'll have to pick just three

And I said
                                          
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
    
and how can a man like me remain in the light?
                        
and if life is really as short as they say
                        
then why is the night so long
             
and then the sun went down
       (let ring)      
and he sang for me this song

                               
See I once was a young fool like you
 
afraid to do the things
       
that I knew I had to do
     
So I played an escapade just like you
                            
I played an escapade just like you
           
I sailed a wild, wild sea
             
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
         
I met an old, old man
         
he sat beneath a sapling tree
            
He said now if you got some questions
       
go and lay them at my feet
       
but my time here is brief
          
so you'll have to pick just three

And I said

and how can a man like me remain in the light?
                        
and if life is really as short as they say
                        
then why is the night so long?
             
and then the sun went down
       (let ring)        
and he played for me this song
