Watchin' It Go

(앨범: Pass The Chicken & Listen - 1973)

Me, it seems I'm spending most of my time
Spending ten cents while I'm making a dime
Trying to make sense out of life's mixed up rhyme
Meantime I'm watching it go

The butterfly spins in his little cocoon
Thinking of songs that he'll be singing soon
So few will listen to the butterfly's tune
Me I'm just watching it go

Watching it go
Wanting to know
Where do you go when you've been

Poor Cinderella she's bowing her head
Telling some stranger what a hard life's she's led
Glass slipper's sound asleep under the bed
Sadly I'm watching her go

Prince Charming dressed in disarming disguise
Flashing his charms as he's blinding her eyes
Morning will hear 'em say their sunshine goodbyes
Me, I've seen a few of them go

Watching it go
Wanting to know
Where do you go when you've been

Me, like so many, I've tried so many things
Walking on crutches and calling them wings
Wondering who's pulling the puppeteer strings
Me, I'm just wanting to know

Minds too confined they keep wanting to roam
Looking for a life that will leave them alone
I hear 'em singing now they want to go home
Knowing they never can go

Watching it go
Wanting to know
Where do you go when you've been

Watching it go
Wanting to know
Where do you go when you've been
