rich man, poor man

i need a bride but the dolphins are running

a woman who'd cry but the sea must provide

a child to unravel the snarled nets of loving

first things first when you get to the sea

a rich man eats when he wishes

a poor man whenever he can

i need a home but my boots keep growing

the healing and peace that a fire would provide

a place to unburden a brain of its sorrow

first things first when you get to the fire

a rich man eats when he wishes

a poor man whenever he can

i need a song but the spring is for sowing

a word to the wise that the earth must provide

a tomb to untangle the riddle of growing

first things first when you get to the land

a rich man eats when he wishes

a poor man whenever he can

i need the moon but the landlord need money

a field of wild flowers that the stars could provide

a bird on my shoulder to fly through the rainbow

first things first when you get to the sky

a rich man eats when he wishes

a poor man whenever he can
