LYRIC FOR SALE

By Bernard Morris

(verse 1)
Watching lots of busy carpenter ants dismantle
A log gives me pleasure in the wood
Like a tambourine leaves in the trees jingle jangle
I’d stay here in the wood if I could

(chorus)
No more breathing in polluted air
Without clothes my naked skin is bare
Living in the wood it is for me
Amongst mice and squirrels I am free

(verse 2)
Away from the city noises sirens in the night
Stay here amongst the trees and the insects I just might
Watching all the colours changing in the autumn leaves
Gently swaying in my hammock in the summer breeze

(chorus)
No more breathing in polluted air
Without clothes my naked skin is bare
Living in the wood it is for me
Amongst mice and squirrels I am free

(instrumental bridge)

(verse 3)
Making friends with birds and foxes watching spiders spin
Their beautiful webs of silk the poor flies get stuck in
No morning alarm to make me jump out of my bed
Beautiful chorus of songbirds and soft wind instead

(chorus)
No more breathing in polluted air
Without clothes my naked skin is bare
Living in the wood it is for me
Amongst mice and squirrels I am free

(verse 4)
No toxic carbon monoxide pumping out of cars
The air is as fresh as ocean spray
I look up and see at night a canvas of bright stars
The gorgeous sight takes my breath away

(chorus)
No more breathing in polluted air
Without clothes my naked skin is bare
Living in the wood it is for me
Amongst mice and squirrels I am free
