I wish I was a willow
|
And I could sway to the music in the wind
|
And I wish I was a lover
|
I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend
|
I wish I was a mountain
|
I'd pass boldly thru the clouds and never end
|
I wish I was a soft refrain
|
When the lights were out I'd play
|
and be your friend
|
I strut and fret my hour upon the stage
|
The hour is up
|
I have to run and hide my rage
|
I'm lost again
|
I think I'm really scared
|
I won't be back at all this time
|
And have my deepest secrets shared
|
|
|
I'd like to be a willow
|
A lover, a mountain or a soft refrain
|
But I'd hate to be a grown-up
|
And have to try to bear my life in pain
|
|
|
I wish I was a soft refrain
|
When the lights were out I'd play
|
and be your friend
|
I strut and fret my hour upon the stage
|
The hour is up
|
I have to run and hide my rage
|
I'm lost again
|
I think I'm really scared
|
I won't be back at all this time
|
And have my deepest secrets shared
|
|
I'd like to be a willow
|
A lover, a mountain or a soft refrain
|
But I'd hate to be a grown-up
|
And have to try to bear my life in pain
