Oh she's a wanderer She's a distiller of souls You cannot catch her boy She'll just continue to roam For she was whisked away Her mind you tried to hold like a tide But then you glanced away And she broke free from your bind Oh hope, the hope you had Oh grasp, the grasp you held Oh life, the life you thought yours The life you thought there The life you thought you knew Slipping and sliding Life, that wriggly worm Life, that trickery It's spun up on you Gone and done a complete turn Oh, she's a wanderer She's a tiller man's child A mocking bird Lone and gentle against that sycamore wild Don't stall her boy Don't shelter or cramp her style For she'll fly away No mockingbird stays still for any length of a while

She
Oh she's a wanderer She's a distiller of souls You cannot catch her boy She'll just continue to roam For she was whisked away Her mind you tried to hold like a tide But then you glanced away And she broke free from your bind Oh hope, the hope you had Oh grasp, the grasp you held Oh life, the life you thought yours The life you thought there The life you thought you knew Slipping and sliding Life, that wriggly worm Life, that trickery It's spun up on you Gone and done a complete turn Oh, she's a wanderer She's a tiller man's child A mocking bird Lone and gentle against that sycamore wild Don't stall her boy Don't shelter or cramp her style For she'll fly away No mockingbird stays still for any length of a while
