I need a bride, but the dolphins are runnin' A woman who'd cry, but the sea must provide. A child to unravel the snarled nets of lovin'; 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 goin' Healing and peace that a fire could provide. A place to unburden my brain of it's 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 tune 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 needs money A field of wildflowers that the stars could provide. A bird for 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. LyricsFreak
