I'm a cloud drifting by Dripping tears from the sky I'm a snail without a shell A leper with a golden bell I've got nowhere to go I'm a stray cat on the roam Choking on a chicken bone For a home sweet, no sweet home
For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree For something, somebody, that reminded them of me
Running with my roots pulled up Caught me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless
Work your fingers to the bone Building castles out of snow I'm a nomad walking on Humming to the same old song Lower case society Tight to no community A kingdom without a king With no sense of belonging
For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree For something, somebody, that reminded them of me
Running with my roots pulled up Caught me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless
Running with my roots pulled up So they could cut me free of love
Running with my roots pulled up Caught me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless
Tracking my roots through the snow No home sweet and no sweet home I've got nowhere to go I'm rootless, I'm rootless
