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
