The lonely tear
slips down my cheek
My face shows no emotion
but my knees are weak
I care for you deeply
Please, don't get me wrong
You have filled my heart with hope
and my soul with song
But my mind wanders here
and it drifts off to there
I yearn to be free
to go anywhere
I can't be tied down right now
I'm young and fancyfree
I need to have my space
to live and to be
