| Harpo's Blues by Phoebe Snow I wish I was a willow And I could sway to the music and the wind I wish I was a lover I wouldn't need these costumes and pretend I wish I was a mountain I'd pass boldly through the clouds and never end I wish I was a soft refrain When the lights were out, I'd play and be your friend To 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 No! 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 |
