Phoebe Snow Harpo's Blues (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 ©1973 Tarka Music Company
