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
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 (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
