There's a man who's been out sailing in a decade full of dreams And he takes her to a schooner, and he treats her like a queen Bearin' beads from California with their amber stones and green He has called her from the harbor He has kissed her with his freedom He has heard her off to starboard in the breakin' and the breathin' of the water weeds While she was busy bein' free. There's a man who's climbed a mountain and he's calling out her name And he hopes her heart can hear 3,000 miles he calls again He can think that they're beside him He can miss her just the same He has missed her in the forest While he showed her all the flowers, and the branches sang the chorus As he climbed the scaly towers of a Fortress tree While she was somewhere bein' free. There's a man who sends a letter and he's waiting for reply He has asked her off her travels since the day they said goodbye He writes, “Wish you were beside me. We can make it if we try.” He has seen her at the office with her name on all his papers Through the sharin' of the profits He will find it hard to shake her from his memory And she's so busy bein' free There's a lady in the city and she thinks she loves them all There's the one who's thinkin' of her There's the one who sometimes calls There's the one who sends her letters with his facts and figures strong She has brought them to her senses They have laughed inside her laughter Now she rallies her defenses for she fears that one will ask her for eternity And she's so busy bein' free. There's a man who sends her medals He is bleedin' from the war There's a jouster and a jester and a man who owns a store There's a drummer and a dreamer, and you know there may be more She will love them when she sees them They will lose her if they follow And she only means to please them And her heart is full and hollow like a cactus tree While she's so busy bein' free. Like a cactus tree Bein' free… |
