lyrics

Tell all my friends I am moving out
I cannot abide anymore in this town

Well I have stayed long as I could stay
so burn all my things, yeah or give them away

On crowded streets lined with telephone wire
I will make my escape like a rabbit in the briar

Oh Wild things
they are calling me
Wild woods
and that raging sea
so long
since I felt so free

When I am gone, don’t you worry for me
There’s a peace in my soul where a thorn used to be

Oh I was drowning in a sea of grey
and I had not been living, just wilting away

And on some day when that sun shines through
and you’re feeling that urge, oh you know what to do

Tell ‘em
Wild things
they are calling me
Wild woods
and that raging sea
so long
since I felt so free
