One Season
One season I was born
fell down like an acorn
I am the only tree
and everybody leaves
I've got to get away from you
Bud growing up at me
resentful face I see
a harsh light seems to damn you
is it because I am you?
I've got to get away from you
I need to find a love that's true
Loose leaf lay on the bed
hair falling around her head
I watched her from the shore
I can't do any more
I've got to get away from you
I'll come and visit you in the zoo
We go on arguing
no one can say a thing
set down your key and trumpet
go have a dream and hump it
I've got to get away from you
you don't know what you put me through
Prized fighter with bruised pride
a fuse blew when you tried
to fix the worn out wire
and set the house on fire
I've got to get away from you
if only for a day or two
