Wizard Of The Worldly Game Lyrics - Singles - Fairport Convention

For seven years I've stood right here 

And the flowers ?don't be? by day 

All for the yarns that I was told 

I spread my arms when they grew cold 

And warded off the rain 

The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots 

The grass that is trodden underfoot 

Give it time and it will surely rise again 

I'm rocked by winds and am soaked by rains 

And I bow and sometimes bend 

Until I fall and crush the forms 

Of a few small friends who stood through storms

And will surely rise again 

The bigger the tree, the deeper the roots 

The grass that is trodden underfoot 

Give it time and it will surely rise again 

It's... dust, the Derby's just 

We do... done 

'Wild to wind' and wise to pain
