[Verse 1]
I need a bride but the dolphins are runnin'
A woman who'd cry but the sea must provide
A child to unravel the snarled nets of lovin'
First things first when you get to the sea
[Refrain]
A rich man eats when he wishes
A poor man whenever he can
[Verse 2]
I need a home but my boots keep goin'
Healing and peace that a fire could provide
A place to unburden my brain of its sorrow
First things first when you get to the fire
[Refrain]
A rich man eats when he wishes
A poor man whenever he can
[Verse 3]
I need a song but the spring is for sowin'
A word to the wise that the earth must provide
A tomb to untangle the riddle of growin'
First things first when you get to the land
[Refrain]
A rich man eats when he wishes
A poor man whenever he can
[Verse 4]
I need the moon (I need the moon) but the landlord need money
A field of wildflowers that the stars could provide
A bird on my shoulder to fly through the rainbow
First things first when you get to the sky
[Refrain]
A rich man eats when he wishes
A poor man whenever he can
