I'd like to stay with you a while, but I have promises to keep.
I could be happy here with you, but I must sow wild oats to reap.
My strength tells me my weakness shows. You make me think of coats and ties.
Of baby's home security, and jobs that last from nine to five.
I could conjure up a constant state of happiness, but I know that I am just another man.
And in knowing that, I know that I'll get more or less what I can get, so I do what I can.
I have many steps to take, reckless steps I cannot share.
A mountain waits for me to climb, and I must climb because it's there.
I could conjure up a constant state of happiness, but I know that I am just another man.
And in knowing that, I know that I'll get more or less what I can get, so I do what I can.
But if you should not let me go, and if you want me as I am,
then for a while I'll be a god instead of just another man.
