Id rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
Id rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

Away, Id rather sail away
Like a swan thats here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
Its saddest sound

Id rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
Id rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

Why Don't You Write Me
 

Why don't you write me I'm out in the jungle I'm hungry to hear you.
Send me a card, I am waiting so hard To be near you.
(La, la, la)
Why don't you write?
Something is wrong And I know I got to be there.
Maybe I''m lost, But I can't make the cost Of the airfare. 

Tell me why
Why
Why

Why don't you write me, A letter would brighten My loneliest evening.
Mail it today If it's only to say That you're leaving me.
(La, la, la)

Monday morning, sitting in the sun
Hoping and wishing for the mail to come.
Tuesday, never got a word,
Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign,
Drank a half a bottle of iodine.
Friday, woe is me
Gonna hang my body from the highest tree.
Why don't you write me?
