Wouldn't It Be Nice If We Were Free

Dead trees miles and miles

dripping ink all the while

and you said to me

wouldn't it be nice if we were free

 

snow upon the ground it brings

the season of dead things

jagged rocks which stab the sky

painted things which make me cry

where do all the tin men go

a secret only they can know

 

lovers with a hand may find

distance of another kind

fainter things have found their place

among the stars they leave no trace

translucent light comes from within

someday soon the cracks wear thin

jetting away from the sun

strangers now you can't outrun

 

lonely lion of the land

desert fox running in the sand
