Verse I'm a cloud drifting by Dripping tears from the sky I'm a snail without a shell Leopard with a golden bell I've got nowhere to go I'm a stray cat on the roam Choking on a chicken bone For a home sweet no sweet home For a root for a leaf for a branch for a tree For something somebody that reminded them of me Running with my roots pulled up Caught me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless I'm rootless Work your fingers to the bone Building castles out of snow I'm a nomad walking on Humming to the same old song Lower case society Tied to no community A kingdom without a king With no sense of belonging For a root for a leaf for a branch for a tree For something somebody that reminded them of me Running with my roots pulled up me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless I'm rootless Running with my roots pulled up So they could cut me free of love Running with my roots pulled up me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless I'm rootless Dragging my roots through the snow No home sweet and no sweet home I've got nowhere to go I'm rootless I'm rootless
