[Verse 1]
Wish I could live, in a house in the dunes down the beach from you
I'd be free from you
You're not a casual man, you’re no one I'll ever understand

[Verse 2]
Wish I could live, high in a tree I'd look down on you
And I'd feel above you
You didn't mean to be but you loomed larger even than live and then lie to you and me
Wish I was free like you, to careless instead I’m locked inside my need for you
I wanna be with you

[Whistle break]

[Verse 3]
Nothin' worth havin', can't be held, so have to get along just holdin’ you
From time to time
Wish I could live, like a bell in the wind and not think at all, but you’d hеar my song
You're no easy man, and it's so hard to make a plan, around you

[Instrumental end]
