I lived awhile without you,
darn near half my life.
I no longer see our unborn children,
born to you my unwed wife.
But yesterday I had a vision,
beneath the tree where we once talked,
of an old couple burning
their love letters so their children
won't be shocked.

[chorus:]
Love calls like the wild birds--
it's another day.
A Spring wind blew my list of
things to do...away.

My friends are gettin older,
so I guess I must be too.
Without their loving kindness,
I don't know what I'd do.
Oh the wine bottle's half empty--
the money's all spent.
And we're a cross between our parents
and hippies in a tent.

[repeat chorus]

In a mucked up lovely river,
I cast my little fly.
I look at that river and smell it
and it makes me wanna cry.
Oh to clean our dirty planet,
now there's a noble wish,
and I'm puttin my shoulder to the wheel
'cause I wanna catch some fish.

[repeat chorus]

Children go to sleep now--
you know it's gettin' late.
I know you don't like to miss nothin'
and school ain't that great.
Oh, I'll dance with you when you're happy,
and hold you when you're sad,
and hope you know how glad I am,
just to be you're Dad.

[repeat chorus]

Darlin' it's been a hard go
but I think we'll be okay.
I know I say that all the time
like everything else I say.
Oh, I've been gone so often,
but every time I miss you,
and I don't really know nothin',
Except I like to kiss you.

[repeat chorus]


Mirror lyrics:

[repeat chorus]

Except I like to kiss you.
and I don't really know nothin',
but every time I miss you,
Oh, I've been gone so often,
like everything else I say.
I know I say that all the time
but I think we'll be okay.
Darlin' it's been a hard go

[repeat chorus]

just to be you're Dad.
and hope you know how glad I am,
and hold you when you're sad,
Oh, I'll dance with you when you're happy,
and school ain't that great.
I know you don't like to miss nothin'
you know it's gettin' late.
Children go to sleep now--

[repeat chorus]

'cause I wanna catch some fish.
and I'm puttin my shoulder to the wheel
now there's a noble wish,
Oh to clean our dirty planet,
and it makes me wanna cry.
I look at that river and smell it
I cast my little fly.
In a mucked up lovely river,

[repeat chorus]

and hippies in a tent.
And we're a cross between our parents
the money's all spent.
Oh the wine bottle's half empty--
I don't know what I'd do.
Without their loving kindness,
so I guess I must be too.
My friends are gettin older,

things to do...away.
A Spring wind blew my list of
it's another day.
Love calls like the wild birds--
[chorus:]

won't be shocked.
their love letters so their children
of an old couple burning
beneath the tree where we once talked,
But yesterday I had a vision,
born to you my unwed wife.
I no longer see our unborn children,
darn near half my life.
I lived awhile without you,
