Wild Strawberries Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

If I had a dollar, if I had a cent 

I would play most anywhere if it would pay my rent 

I'd be livin' on the downside in my old apartment 

For the rest of my days 

People always ask, why the world is on the run? 

People like you and like me 

Is it really true you can really never win? 

Movin' to the upside, tell me when does the fun begin 

Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather 

We will go just you and me to pick wild strawberries together 

Or be livin' on our own, in a cabin in a meadow 

Or meanderin' alone, we can face the world forever or we'll 

Hit the bounding main or be on a railroad train 

Hit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat ride 

Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane 

Hit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow ride 

People often ask me just the way it must feel 

To be standing up here with you down there 

Let it now be known that throughout all of these years 

I have been wearing polka dot underwear 

Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather 

We will go just you and me to gather crabapples together 

And be wandering along toward a cabin in the meadow 

Or meandering alone, we can face the world together or we'll 

Hit the bounding main or be on a railroad train 

Hit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat ride 

Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane 

Hit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow ride 

People always ask why the world is on the slide? 

People like you and like me 

Is it really true there will be no peace left to hide? 

Turning to the upside, when does the fun begin 

Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather 

We might go just you and me to pick wild strawberries together 

Or be livin' on our own in a cabin in a meadow 

And the cows will come home they can face the world forever and we'll 

Hit the bounding main or be on a railroad train 

Hit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat ride 

Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane 

Hit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow ride 

Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane
