Flowered Fields

Man, I've been saying it long enough
A regular evangelist for freedom to move
Relationships should be open and easy
That's what I said, meant it too and now
I've found a woman who understands

She takes me on my own basis and knows
my need for time alone, has figured out
that love has more facets than need
and loves me and loves others too
So, how come I'm getting itchy with that

Why do I wonder where I stand with her
and what it means when she flashes that grin
touching the hand of someone else
Why do I go home with the blues so often
even though I know she loves me, told me so

I love her too, but you see we have this thing
about our freedom with relationships
Recognze that spatial need thing, being her and me
instead of us, which is just too controlling
Know what I mean, understand my take and hers

It's got to be the way, other stuff just doesn't work
Never has worked and I'll be honest with you
this isn't working either, I don't think
Does anyone know where this train is going
Why the connections aren't in my timetable

It's warm when it's warm, but man it sure gets cold
standing on these platforms, dedicated to travel
on what I was absolutely sure was the scenic route
It might be a journey longer than I knew
lost among these freeblown flowered fields
