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

I wish i was a willow 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 pa** 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
