Jesters, Dreamers And Thieves Lyrics

Edwin McCain Jesters, Dreamers And Thieves

Looking back on younger days the view stretched on for miles,
We charged into our futures with laughter and with smiles.
As we traveled blindly the road became so thick,
No chance to change direction and we've laughed until we're sick.

Now I keep company with wicked evil men, 
My generosity's brimming but I'm still inclined to sin, 
My friends think I am crazy and I know that may be so, 
But I'm as happy with a penny as coffers full of gold ,

CHORUS:
And so for all of you I say,
Don't miss the forest for all the trees, 
And don't ever question,
Honor Among Thieves.

The undergrowth has parted now the path is easily read,
It's lined with all the doubters regretting all they've said, 
God bless all the dreamers and those who lead with soul, 
For how can you know virtue 'less you fought out of a hole, 

CHORUS:
And so for all of you I say, 
don't miss the forest for all the trees, 
And don't ever question 
Honor Among Thieves.

When you feel that you've lost your,
Do do bwee, do do bwee, do do bwee, do do bwee, 
Wee, wee do do do, Wee do do, do do,
Just remember you have,
Your skidalee do wow,  skidalee do wow,  skidalee do wow, skidalee do wow, Do do bwee,  yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!!

Trickle of a chuckle as laughter starts to pour,
Bells begin to jingle the trickles now a roar, 
Pan floutist, cloven dancer, THE MISCHIEF HAS BEGUN, 
Laugh with me if it's funny, laugh at me if it's fun, 
And I don't know St. Peter 
Well, I know he believes,
There's a place in heaven for Jesters, Dreamers & Thieves, 
Jesters, Dreamers, and Thie-ie-ieeeeeeeeeeves......
