Stephen Stills - Isn't It So (stephen Stills) lyrics

Love is a secret

That everyone knows

Love is a chime that rings

When the wind blows

Keep yourself honest

So it can grow

'Cause when you've lost it

Your heart turns cold

Isn't it so?

I remember the first girl

That I really loved

However it hurt her

She loved me enough

I wanted to wander

She knew I would go

She shed a tear knowin'

That I'd be alone

Wasn't it so?

Painfully I was most aware how

Very unfair it was

Leavin' her suddenly just like that

Goin' God knows where I was

Chasing a rainbow

She understood

She was a prophet

She told me I should

Follow my heart

Like I'd been told

Seek out your vision

Before you get old

Isn't it so?

Now many years later

I finally see

How much she did love me

She set me free

Her last few dollars

Put gas in my car

She said "Promise to write me

Wherever you are"

From out on the highway

I think I wrote twice

I always remembered

Her simple advice

Love is a secret

That everyone knows

Try too hard to hide it

It never will show

Isn't it so

How did she know
