The Cats - The Wise Man lyrics

Far to the east, Lord, I see them in my mind They carry in their hands for what they must find They come in each year, Lord, today in one place Within their faces, what they shall face I will always remember the end of December How I went to the chapel as a child Oho, I was silently watching the stable And for me all the figures inside came alive They moved in silence with feeling`s so sure Their garmensts all shining so bright and pure Like figures of marble and all set with gold Their gracefull features so noble and cold I will always remember the end of December How I went to the chapel as a child Oho, I was silently watching the stable And for me all the figures inside came alive They do not change, Lord, they`re each year the same They've got no future but only their name I know their memory, it won`t fade away Never ending there journey, never meanin` to stay I will always remember the end of December How I went to the chapel as a child Oh, I was silently watching the stable And for me all the figures inside came alive
