[Verse 1]
I've been sheltered all of my days
But you opened up the door
I was a young man stepping into my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Stepping out of school
Across the graveyard gates
An educated fool
[Chorus]
Oh Willie I could read and write
But your eyes, read the winds and tides
Willie my sage my friend
I gained a thousand tales
[Post-Chorus]
Of Life
Of mice
And men
[Verse 2]
Fumble fingered rolling my own
I learned the graveyard ways
A friend a stranger it didn't change us
[Pre-Chorus]
We took a heavy spade
And laid the soul to rest
And kept a graveyard face
[Chorus]
Oh Willie you always said
A needless tear, falls on nature's head
Willie your helping hand
Helped to make the man
[Harmonica solo]

[Chorus]
Oh Willie the circles turned
Old and young, go in different ways
Willie your words and ways
Will cross the graveyard gates
[Coda]
A - way
A - way
A - way
