I need a bride, but the dolphins are runnin'
|
A woman who'd cry, but the sea must provide.
|
A child to unravel the snarled nets of lovin';
|
First things first when you get to the sea.
|
A rich man eats when he wishes; a poor man whenever he can.
|
|
I need a home, but my boots keep goin'
|
Healing and peace that a fire could provide.
|
A place to unburden my brain of its sorrow;
|
First things first when you get to the fire.
|
A rich man eats when he wishes; a poor man whenever he can.
|
|
I need a song, but the spring is for sowing
|
A word to the wise that the earth must provide.
|
A tune to untangle the riddle of growing;
|
First things first when you get to the land.
|
A rich man eats when he wishes; a poor man whenever he can.
|
|
I need the moon, but the landlord needs money
|
A field of wildflowers that the stars could provide.
|
A bird for my shoulder to fly through the rainbow;
|
First things first when you get to the sky.
|
A rich man eats when he wishes; a poor man whenever he can.
