Rootless lyrics

I'm a cloud drifting by

Dripping tears from the sky

I'm a snail without a shell

Leper 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 [x2]

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

But there's 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 [x2]

Running with my roots pulled up

So they could cut me free of love

Running with my roots pulled up

Caught me cold so they could cut

What there was left of love

I'm rootless [x2]

Dragging my roots through the snow

No home sweet and no sweet home

I've got nowhere to go

I'm rootless [x2]
