Harpo`s Blues (I Wish I Was A Willow) — текст песни (Phoebe Snow)

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 pass 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
