SO FAR I ROAMED





Like a monkey on a bar,

Like a man who went too far

I tried to get myself free

Like a man loose as a goose,

I tried to escape the noose

But they were determined to get me.

You know, I never really committed a crime

All I ever wanted was a life that was mine

Like a jester who was free to jest

Not for fame or glory or all the rest

I have strayed as far away as a distant star

But now I swear my love for thee

And for heaven sake hear this plea

I will never again roam from thee afar.

I met a maiden who went far to fetch milk

She said, “A free spirit you are not of their ilk.”

The morning dove flew off a branch of ash

And cooed, “I came as far as eternity in the blink of a lash”



Yes, like a monkey on a bar

Like a man who went too far

I have tried to get myself free
