[Verse]

The window opens

I hear the toddling waves

I think about the soldiers

I think about the interstates

I would like to leave it all

Just for a week or two

Maybe I'd see it in clarity

Whatever I would see

[Verse]

It's all so confusing

I don't know where I stand

I could be anything

But not yours on demand

I would like to leave it all

If I only could

Maybe I'd see it in clarity

If I'd see anything at all

[Chorus]

But the birds, they are singing

That sweet and lonesome song

Oh mother

Oh brother

Take me home today

[Verse]

You may call me irresponsible

Or even carefree

But it's not the way

I am tempted to be

I would like to stay here

And not say a word

Maybe I'd see it in clarity

Or I'll see nothing at all

[Chorus]

But the wolves they are howling

That sweet but haunted song

Oh father

Oh sister

Take me home today

[Outro]

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Hmm hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm hmm
