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 The 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 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
