祖ause I知 a Rover
As the robin craves the summer to hide
his smock of red
I need the pillow of your hair in which
to hide my head
I知 simple in my sadness, resourceful
in remorse
Now, I知 down straining at the lead holding
up a windward course
Strip me from the bundle of balloons at
every fair
Colorful and carefree, designed to make
you stare
But I知 lost and I知 losing the thread
that holds me down
Now, I知 up hot and rising in the lights
in every town
