I remember everything
I've learned about survival
I've walked with fools and kings
And I've even read the Bible
There I came upon some lines
Givin' me direction
Gather not your gold on earth
Your kingdom is in heaven
But I chose to live instead
Inside the shell they gave me
'Til in spite of everything
Good fortune came to find me
I tried my best to run away
But I could not avoid the feelin'
Soon I was reelin' on my feet
I made a grab at anything
The earth was gone and I was on
A vicious circle then
After I'd gone and let myself surrender
I didn't want to die at all
I thought I'd live forever
Then she gave me everything
A king could never borrow
But I twisted all her gifts
Her wisdom was my sorrow
So I left her cryin'
And roamed across the river
The angels offered me their hands
But I could not forget her
So I came to where she was
By river, road and reason
I slept beneath her window
In the moonlight summer season
But I could not go inside
I heard the sound of laughter
And the rustle of her hair upon his skin
I made a grab at anything
The earth was gone and I was on
A vicious circle then
After I'd gone to cry down my sorrow
I didn't want to live no more
Nor face the bright tomorrow
Then I remembered everything
I've learned about survival
Havin' walked with fools and kings
I've even read the Bible
I remember all those lines
Givin' me direction
Gather not your gold on earth
It will not pass inspection
And still I think when I'm alone
Away from all night splendor
If gold could buy one night with her
I wish I had some to send her
Gordon Meredith Lightfoot, Jr. (1938-2023) was a Canadian singer-songwriter considered one of the pillars of his country's folk and country music. Born in Orillia, Ontario, Lightfoot began his musical career in the 1960s, quickly gaining a reputation for his evocative melodies and poetic lyrics that often explored themes of history, nature, and everyday life in Canada. Among his most famous songs are "If You Could Read My Mind", "Sundown" and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". The latter song, inspired by the sinking of a ship on Lake Superior, became a folk classic and cemented Lightfoot as one of the most important singer-songwriters of the 20th century. Lightfoot collaborated with numerous artists, including Bob Dylan and Neil Young, and won numerous awards for his music, including the Juno Award for Canadian artist of the year. His influence on Canadian folk music has been profound and lasting.
