Look At The Wood Lyrics - Paul Kantner

Look at the wood and the way he carves it 

Must have taken him years 

I asked him the price and he said it was free 

And I couldn't believe my ears 

Tell me old man how long have you lived 

To have such amazing talent 

I'm twenty years short of a century 

And the best years are in the balance 

As a baby his mother had fed him frogs 

And a wide assortment of lizards 

It made him tough and wise and strange 

And gave him the mind of a wizard 

He had a new woman every five years 

Faithful to each in her turn 

They gave him children and time to smile 

And he showed them all the love they could learn 

The man had love to burn 

Now he's lived his life and he'll live it again 

Thru one more gentle soul 

You'll know him by his smile and his fork held high 

He'll be dining on toads and moles 

Look at the wood and the way he carves it 

Look at the sun, the golden harvest 

Must have taken him years
