Lyrics

Harpos Blues

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 through 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
