One Season Lyrics - The Roches

One season I was born 

fell down like an acorn 

I am the only tree 

and everybody leaves 

I've got to get away from you 

Bud growing up at me 

resentful face I see 

a harsh light seems to damn you 

is it because I am you? 

I've got to get away from you 

I need to find a love that's true 

Loose leaf lay on the bed 

hair falling around her head 

I watched her from the shore 

I can't do any more 

I've got to get away from you 

I'll come and visit you in the zoo 

We go on arguing 

no one can say a thing 

set down your key and trumpet 

go have a dream and hump it 

I've got to get away from you 

you don't know what you put me through 

Prized fighter with bruised pride 

a fuse blew when you tried 

to fix the worn out wire 

and set the house on fire 

I've got to get away from you 

if only for a day or two
