Edwin McCain - Jesters Dreamers And Thieves Lyrics
Looking back on younger days the view stretched on for milesWe charged into our futures with laughter and smilesAs we traveled blindly the road became so thickNo chance to change direction and weve laughed until were sickNow I keep company with wicked evil menMy generositys brimming but Im still inclined to sinMy friends think I am crazy and I know that may be soBut Im as happy with a penny as coffers full of goldAnd so for all of you I say, dont miss the forest for all the treesAnd dont ever question honor among thievesThe undergrowth has parted now the path is easily readIts lined with all the doubters regretting all theyve saidGod bless all the dreamers and those who lead with soulFor how can you know virtue less you fought out of a holeAnd so for all of you I say, dont miss the forest for all the treesAnd dont ever question honor among thievesTrickle of a chuckle as laughter starts to pourBells begin to jingle the trickles now a roarPan floutist, cloven dancerThe mischief has begunLaugh with me if its funny, laugh at me if its funAnd I dont know st. peter but I know he believesTheres a place in heaven for jesters, dreamers & thieves
