Harpo's Blues (i Wish I Was A Willow) Lyrics - Singles - Snow Phoebe

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
