I lived awhile without you,
Done near half my life.
I no longer see our unborn children,
Under you my un-wed wife.
But yesterday I had a vision
Under the tree where we once talked.
Of an old couple burning their love letters,
So that the children won’t be shocked.
Chorus:
Love calls just like the wild birds
It’s another day
Spring wind blew my list of things to do away
All my friends are getting older,
I guess I must be too.
Without their love and kindness,
I don’t know what I’ll do,
Oh the wine bottle’s half empty,
The money’s all been spent.
We’re a cross between our parents
And hippies in a tent.
Chorus:
In a mucked up lovely river
I cast my little fly
But I look at that river and smell it
And it makes me want to cry
Oh to clean our dirty planet
Now there’s a noble wish.
But I’m putting my shoulder to the wheel
Cause I wanna catch some fish.
Ohhhhhh
Chorus:
