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
