Rootless

I'm a cloud drifting by

Dripping tears from the sky

I'm a snail without a shell

A leper with a golden bellI've got nowhere to go

I'm a stray cat on the roam

Choking on a chicken bone

For a home sweet, no sweet homeFor a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree

For something, somebody that reminded them of meRunning with my roots pulled up

Caught me cold so they could cut

What there was left of love

I'm rootless, I'm rootlessWork your fingers to the bone

Building castles out of snow

I'm a nomad walking on

Humming to the same old songLower case society

Tighten no community

A kingdom without a king

With no sense of belongingFor a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree

For something, somebody that reminded them of meRunning with my roots pulled up

Caught me cold so they could cut

What there was left of love

I'm rootless, I'm rootlessRunning with my roots pulled up

So they could cut me free of loveRunning with my roots pulled up

Caught me cold so they could cut

What there was left of love

I'm rootless, I'm rootlessDragging my roots through the snow

For a home sweet and no sweet home

I've got nowhere to go

I'm rootless, I'm rootless
