[00:08]The Riddle

[00:17]

[00:27]i got two strong arms

[00:30]blessings of babylon

[00:33]with time to carry on

[00:35]and try

[00:36]for sins and false alarms

[00:40]so to america the brave

[00:44]wise men save

[00:46]near a tree by a river

[00:48]there's a hole in the ground

[00:51]where an old man of aran

[00:53]goes around and around

[00:55]and his mind is a beacon

[00:58]in the veil of the night

[01:00]for a strange kind of fashion

[01:03]there's a wrong and a right

[01:05]but he'll never, never fight over you

[01:09]i got plans for us

[01:13]nights in the scullery

[01:14]and days instead of me

[01:17]i only know what to discuss

[01:22]of for anything but light

[01:26]wise men fighting over you

[01:30]it's not me you see

[01:34]pieces of valentine

[01:36]with just a song of mine

[01:38]to keep from burning history

[01:43]seasons of gasoline and gold

[01:48]wise men fold

[01:49]near a tree by a river

[01:52]there's a hole in the ground

[01:54]where an old man of aran

[01:56]goes around and around

[01:59]and his mind is a beacon

[02:01]in the veil of the night

[02:04]for a strange kind of fashion

[02:06]there's a wrong and a right

[02:08]but he'll never, never fight over you

[02:12]i got time to kill

[02:16]sly looks in corridors

[02:18]without a plan of yours

[02:20]a blackbird sings on bluebird hill

[02:25]thanks to the calling of the wild

[02:30]wise mens child

[02:34]

[03:14][02:53]near a tree by a river

[03:16][02:55]there's a hole in the ground

[03:18][02:57]where an old man of aran

[03:21][03:00]goes around and around

[03:23][03:02]and his mind is a beacon

[03:25][03:04]in the veil of the night

[03:28][03:07]for a strange kind of fashion

[03:30][03:09]there's a wrong and a right

[03:37][03:32][03:11]but he'll never, never fight over you
