How Well Do You Know Gordon Lightfoot Lyrics Quiz

Turn around go back down go back the way you came Shout a warning to the nations that the sword of god is raised

I've gazed upon the good times I've seen the bad times too Felt many a cold and bitter wind and many a mornin' dew

I think this time we've learned enough to know that nothing is the same But still the pounding of my heart hasn't changed and leavin's so strange

If you don't know what to say To understand is my life and the question is why

A child is born to a welfare case Where the rats run around like they own the place The room is chilly, the building is old

I tried my best to run away But I could not avoid the feelin' Soon I was reelin' on my feet

I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips

Well lots of time and songs have passed I catch myself just looking back

when the birds have flown and the nest is bare Now a woman Lord is like a young bird

You've seen the fires in the night, watched the devil as he smiles
