One Season - The Roches

One season I was born

Fell down like an acorn

I am the only tree

And everybody leaves

I’ve got to get away from you

Bud growing up at me

Resentful face I see

A harsh light seems to damn you

Is it because I am you?

I’ve got to get away from you

I need to find a love that’s true

Loose leaf lay on the bed

Hair falling around her head

I watched her from the shore

I can’t do any more

I’ve got to get away from you

I’ll come and visit you in the zoo

We go on arguing

No one can say a thing

Set down your key and trumpet

Go have a dream and hump it

I’ve got to get away from you

You don’t know what you put me through

Prized fighter with bruised pride

A fuse blew when you tried

To fix the worn out wire

And set the house on fire

I’ve got to get away from you

If only for a day or two
