I'd rath-er be a spar-row than a snail
Yes I would, if I could, I sure-ly would, hmm...
VERSE 2
I'd rath-er be a ham-mer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could...
I sure-ly would, hmm...
CHORUS
Away, I'd rather sail a-way...
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world it's saddest-sound
It's saddest sound
VERSE 3:
I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
VERSE 4:
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
CHORUS
Away, I'd rather sail a-way...
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world it's saddest-sound
It's saddest sound
FADING INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS
Yes I would, if I could, I sure-ly would, hmm...
VERSE 2
I'd rath-er be a ham-mer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could...
I sure-ly would, hmm...
CHORUS
Away, I'd rather sail a-way...
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world it's saddest-sound
It's saddest sound
VERSE 3:
I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
VERSE 4:
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
CHORUS
Away, I'd rather sail a-way...
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world it's saddest-sound
It's saddest sound
FADING INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS
