Rich Man, Poor Man

I need a bride but the dolphins are running

A woman who'd cry but the sea must provide

A child to unravel the snarled nets of loving

First things first when you get to the sea

A rich man eats when he wishes

A poor man whenever he can

I need a home but my boots keep growing

The healing and peace that a fire would provide

A place to unburden a brain of its sorrow

First things first when you get to the fire

A rich man eats when he wishes

A poor man whenever he can

I need a song but the spring is for sowing

A word to the wise that the earth must provide

A tomb to untangle the riddle of growing

First things first when you get to the land

A rich man eats when he wishes

A poor man whenever he can

I need the moon but the landlord need money

A field of wild flowers that the stars could provide

A bird on my shoulder to fly through the rainbow

First things first when you get to the sky

A rich man eats when he wishes

A poor man whenever he can
