Lyrics

One season I was born
Fell down like an acorn
I am the only tree
And everybody leaves

I've got to get away from you

Bud growing up at me
Resentful face I see
A harsh light seems to damn you
Is it because I am you?

I've got to get away from you
I need to find a love that's true

Loose leaf lay on the bed
Hair falling around her head
I watched her from the shore
I can't do any more

I've got to get away from you
I'll come and visit you in the zoo

We go on arguing
No one can say a thing
Set down your key and trumpet
Go have a dream and hump it

I've got to get away from you
You don't know what you put me through

Prized fighter with bruised pride
A fuse blew when you tried
To fix the worn out wire
And set the house on fire

I've got to get away from you
If only for a day or two
