Well, I wish I was a bird and I could fly And I wish I was a cloud that hung from the sky If I stood on a mountain that you could not climb Then you couldn't get to me Then you could not get to me at all With all your sympathetic lying And all your effortless trying Tell me, how much longer can I go on getting by And still walk around looking for somewhere to hide? Well, I wish I was an island and you could not swim And I wish I was a room that you could not get in If only that pot of gold at a rainbow's end Then you couldn't get to me Then you could not get to me at all With all your deliberate deceiving And all your superficial grieving Tell me, how much longer can I go on believing And still walk around looking for somewhere to hide? I just can't go on looking for a disguise Just so that you couldn't get to me So you could not get to me
