WILD GEESE

WILD GEESE We take freedom for granted until it’s lost and then it might seem that the finest thing is the freedom to fly and to watch something beautiful take flight. TF

I love you my loving darling
Forgive me for what I’ve done
I’ve done wrong once to often
Now I’ve lost what I had found

I lost the name I was given
And paid the price for my crime
Now I’m just another number
Doing ten in a twelve by nine

Take my heart now it’s broken
I lost my sweetheart divine
It was my one, my one and only temptation
I had water but I wanted wine

I close my eyes and we’re together
And I can taste the morning dew
I hear the bird’s call and responding
Can you hear me calling you?

And I remember late one evening
As the sky was growing dark
I saw wild geese on the river
Taking flight and heading north

Take my heart now it’s broken
I lost my sweetheart divine
It was my one, my one and only temptation
I had water but I wanted wine
