Old Wood - by Keith Birmingha

From "Wise Words and Quotes" - a book of quotes by Vern McLellan:
There are three things that grow more precious with age: old wood to burn, old books to read, and old friends to enjoy. -

Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.  ~Quoted by Francis Bacon, Apothegm


OLD WOOD

When you burn that bridge behind you.
Just be sure you know your way.
Or you may loose yourself in sorrow.
It's the price you have to pay.

Old books are best to read.
Old whisky's best to drink.
Old friends are best to trust.              
And old wood is best to burn.

Some new love may strike your fancy.
Some new love may pass your way.
You'll be happy in the moment.
But, in the end your gonna pay.

Old books are best to read.
Old whisky's best to drink.
Old friends are best to trust.   
And old wood is best to burn.

So, open up your eyes my friend.
And, look at what's at steak.
For the life you want to search for.
And the hearts that you will break.

Old books are best to read.
Old whisky's best to drink.
Old friends are best to trust.
And old wood is best to burn.
