[00:00.00]The Knowing Ones - Jed Davis
[00:09.79]There's an old oak chest by the window
[00:14.10]That my great-grandfather built one shining june
[00:18.66]And i love to sit and look at it proud on the hardwood floor
[00:23.63]Gleaming in the rays of summer afternoon
[00:28.53]They changed the family name at ellis island
[00:32.58]And no one here today knows what it was
[00:37.24]They ripped up all the records 'round the second world war
[00:41.50]And time took the knowing ones as it always does
[00:46.94]And no one here can tell me any more than what they know
[00:55.75]It's a shame the knowing ones were gone so long before
[01:00.84]The ones who need to know what we were so long ago
[01:05.08]Look in the old oak chest and you won't see much
[01:09.30]Just a few loose baubles and things
[01:14.07]But even if my ancestors were nothing more than carpenters
[01:19.03]There's no one here to say they weren't kings
[01:23.36]In the old oak chest i see them all as kings
[01:28.57]And no one here can tell me any more than what they know
[01:37.28]It's a shame the knowing ones were gone so long before
[01:42.10]The ones who need to know what we were so long ago
[02:23.91]There's an old oak chest by the window
[02:28.09]That my great-grandfather built one shining june
[02:32.78]And i love to sit and look at it proud on the hardwood floor
[02:38.83]While the knowing ones are smiling
[02:40.87]In the rays of summer afternoon
