Lletres: Stephen Stills. Isn't It So.

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?
