Odetta Hartman - Wanderlust lyrics

Maybe when we're older and better for our sins We can laugh it off and peel our sunburnt skin And watch our freckled shoulders as they start to disappear And sit and wonder how and why we've grown up all these years Well, when did I begin to let you tell me what to do? I said what gives you the right to take an inch or two And so I'll peel my skin off like a solitary snake To leave you in the dust wonderin' who was my namesake Maybe when we're older and better for our sins We can laugh it off and peel our sunburnt skin And watch our freckled shoulders as they start to disappear And sit and wonder how and why we've grown up all these years We dragged a featherbed onto the empty kitchen floor And rubbed our bones against the wood to even up the score Well, tally marks don't always add what we are to say A linear life is what you lead but who am I blame? Maybe when we're older and better for our sins We can laugh it off and peel our sunburnt skin And watch our freckled shoulders as they start to disappear And sit and wonder how and why we've grown up all these years
