Paroles de Tumbleweed
Fallen asleep between rosesOpened my eyes among thorns
I don't recognise, I don't realise
I was pushed away where I belong
Here I am just like a little beetle
Carried by the storm into a lake
Oh dear caterpillar! Or darling Mr. Toad
I'm a stranger to you all. Is it my fate?
Have you heard of the storm
That uprooted my home?
A shower crushed down
On my beautiful town
Then the lightning bolt struck
Incinerated my shack
I barely survived the flame
But wilted like a tree
Replanted in debris
I turned into nothing
I won't be the same
Then the wind lifted my dry bones
And carried away, never stopped Oh darling Mr. Toad
I'm a stranger to you all
Is it where I belong?
How I miss my roses
And my little shack
This tumbling and rolling
Will not take me back
Oh dear caterpillar! Or darling Mr. Toad
I'm a stranger to you all. Is it my fate?
Have you heard of the storm
That uprooted my home?
A shower crushed down
On my beautiful town
Then the lightning bolt struck
Incinerated my shack
I barely survived the flame
But wilted like a tree
Replanted in debris
I turned into nothing
I won't be the same
Then the wind lifted my dry bones
And carried away, never stopped Oh darling Mr. Toad
I'm a stranger to you all
Is it where I belong?
How I miss my roses
And my little shack
This tumbling and rolling
Will not take me back
