Eric Schroeder - Tadpole Lyrics

Moving to the country
I tried so hard to stop
Gonna bring my pitcher down to the river
Gonna fill it to the top
Ramshackle city, tax paying dues
The richest man won't shake my hand
But he'll put holes in my shoes
Maybe handsome molly
Will make this house a home
We'll milk the cows and kill the sow
Once her babies have all grown
I wish I were in london
Or some other seaport town
Cway I'd row in a wooden boat
Cnd sail the ocean round

Moving to the country
I got to get away
From the cars and the planes
Cnd all the disdain that makes me feel this way
I am just a tadpole
Cnd I can't lose my tail
Or learn to breathe air if no one cares if I win or if I fail

Would you even notice
If I began to rust?
Or if my pond dried up in the sun
Cnd I was left in the dust
Wayfaring stranger
Tell me what to do
For I've grown up with bad, bad luck
So can I follow you?
The rooster calls the morning
Out of her front door
Gonna have me a daughter and drink me some water
From the puddle on the floor
Remember handsome molly
The flowers in your hair
Where the river flows is where I'll go
Cnd can you meet me there?

Moving to the country
I got to get away
From the cars and the planes
Cnd all the disdain that makes me feel this way
I am just a tadpole
Cnd I can't lose my tail
Or learn to breathe air if no one cares if I win or if I fail
